About Me
Welcome to BuzzCircuit,
Hey there, my name is Gary Freeman and I live in the Toronto area in Canada. I have 25+ years of IT experience with the last 15 years spent doing system and network engineering and in the last 10 years I discovered Information Security.
I worked for a large telecom company for over 10 years, starting as a Web Developer, moved to Network Engineering and then a Network Security Specialist, defining hardening standards, assessment and remediation as well as digital surveillance and forensic investigations.
Since 2007, I have been enjoying the realm of sales engineering (as an SE, strategist and now a people manager) for a large security software company that was acquired by a larger entity with a larger security solutions portfolio.
Since 2011, I have been leading a Canadian team of talented folks, providing my guidance, leadership and expertise in areas of SIEM, Data Security, Application Security and Security Research. I recently obtained my CISSP and I’m working towards my CEH.
I have various hobbies which include playing the guitar and singing, camping (well, more of the “trailering” part with a golf cart, laptop and portable WiFi), graphic design (Gimp / Xara), network security and web development with PHP, Javascript and CMS systems such as WordPress and Joomla.
These are exciting times in strategic business transformation and I couldn’t think of a better industry to be apart of that’s helping shape that change and protect what matters most to customers.
