Rich Mogull

Rich Mogull has been working in the security world for over 25 years, and breaking computers (usually by accident) even longer. After about 10 years in physical security (mostly running large events/concerts), he made the mistake of getting drunk in Silicon Valley and telling someone he “worked in security.” Next morning he woke up with a job as an IT security consultant. That’s not totally true, but it’s far more amusing than his full biography. He currently works as the Chief Analyst at theCloud Security Alliance and an independent security analyst at Securosis.com. He previously worked as an analyst with Gartner and VP of Product for DisruptOPS. Rich is also a paramedic, has done stints as a firefighter and with Rocky Mountain Rescue, and retired from ski patrol when he moved to sunny Arizona. He still dabbles in disaster medicine, when nature cooperates.
