I'm Mike Rose, a security engineer with 11 years of experience, writing about practical security topics for non-technical folks. Presently, I hold the position of Staff Infrastructure Security Engineer at LaunchDarkly.

Before joining LaunchDarkly, I was the first security hire at Human Security, where I helped build their security program from the ground up. Prior to that, I was an Endpoint Security Engineer at Jet.com, leading security initiatives for the Infrastructure Engineering team. I began my career as a Network Security Engineer at Vandis. I hold a BS in Computer Security Systems with a minor in Cyber Forensics from St. John's University (Go Johnnies!)
