SCOTT MCINTYRE

Not Speaking On Behalf Of Employer

After over a decade as the Chief Security Officer for the oldest ISP and Telco in The Netherlands, Scott's gone antipodean and now works as Telstra's Chief Security Specialist based in Australia's greatest city, Melbourne. A regular speaker at conferences around the world, such as FIRST, AusCERT and many others, Scott attempts to combine humour and insight with his IT security presentations. A staunch advocate for privacy and increased security for the masses, Scott believes the Internet can be re-claimed by those who want to do good, and shouldn't fall prey to the creepy behaviour our headlines are being filled with. Scott holds several academic degrees (from BSc to PhD) but has found more value out of hands-on and real world experiences. Despite being in Internet/IT security for nearly 30 years, Scott still refuses to wear a tie, Go Management, or give up his shell prompt. He's especially thankful for his 4G connection and hopes he never has to type +++ATH0 again anytime soon.
