Biography

With more than 25 years of information security experience, Troy Stairwalt's experience has included roles as cybersecurity analyst, engineer, cyber forensic investigator, architect, manager, Director, VP and CISO.

In these roles, Troy provided Cybersecurity Strategy, Program management and performed Information Security analysis, engineering, IT risk assessment, data privacy, cybersecurity architecture and cyber forensic investigations throughout his career.

Looking for ways to empower others and give back by sharing his knowledge, Troy spent several years volunteering with a group of internationally recognized experts to write, review and revise both the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) and Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) certification exam questions, answers, and plausible distractors to help the next generation of experts remain current with industry best practices. As these exams are administered internationally the questions and answers had to maintain technology, cultural and regulatory independence. In addition, Troy was asked to provide mentorship for SANS 504 course, Hacking Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling.
