Mike Kiser

Strategist and Evangelist, Sailpoint

Mike Kiser is insecure. He has been this way since birth, despite holding a panoply of industry positions over the past 20 years—from the Office of the CTO to Security Strategist to Security Analyst to Security Architect—that might imply otherwise. In spite of this, he has designed, directed, and advised on large-scale security deployments for a global clientele. He is currently in a long-term relationship with fine haberdashery, is a chronic chronoptimist (look it up), and delights in needlessly convoluted verbiage. He is a member of several working groups and has presented privacy-related research at Black Hat and Def Con. He is currently Director of Strategy and Standards at SailPoint and believes that security is a journey, not a destination.
