Since 1994, Pyr0 (Luke) has been a trusted advisor, security leader and industry mentor. At Blue Bastion, he is the Vice President of Offsec where he and his team address the unique needs of their clients through the “Programmatic Approach”. By creating customized security programs and plans that address specific need vs. chasing after industry and compliance driven “least legal viable solutions” they help ensure growth, maturity, and a strong security posture vs. allowing their customers to “just check a box”. He has founded and contributed to several industry leading organizations over his career including startups, fortune 100 enterprises, and federal agencies. As an extrovert, he passionately supports the information security community, is a featured speaker at various conferences, a published author, and an industry liaison for many businesses and organizations. He served as a Senior DEF CON Goon for 23 years, is the founder of Skytalks, Off Grid Hackers, and a contributing member of the 303 and Illuminati Party hacker families. Pyr0 lives off grid in a bunker home with his wifey and oldest kiddo in the mountains of Northern Colorado and spends his free time on HF making connections via FT4/8, hunting, fishing, hiking, and gold mining. He has a strong technical and professional background in Espionage, Security Leadership & Program Development, Security Service Practice & Team Direction, Red Teaming, Penetration Testing, Social Engineering, Physical Security, Wireless and Radio Communications, GRC Based Assessment, and Incident Response and Handling. If you don’t know him, you should, so find him and buy him a scotch (I hear he loves highlands).
