He is a founding member of the Internet Society of Australia and a member of the IEEE. Over the last 17 years Stephen has held senior IT positions in the publishing, ISP, vendor technology and finance industries. Cutting his security teeth in telecommunications in the mid 1990s, he has worked within highly secure corporate and federal government environments deploying simple, manageable and repeatable solutions ever since. Recently turning to journalism after many years of contributing to industry response papers and presenting data security, next-generation Internet infrastructure and behaviour based Reputational Security concepts, Stephen is looking forward to the opportunity to connect with the security industry and promote "good news" stories, relevant technology analysis and interesting news updates. Stephen is based in Sydney, Australia, but spends most of his time online.Recently searching on the Internet for himself he found seven embarrassing photos, more than 300 references to his rarely updated blog and 20 references to Internet forum posts from the early '90s he'd rather forget. Most people who know Stephen call him Max, a nickname he picked up in high school.
