As a hacker, Alyssa Miller has a passion for security which she evangelizes to business leaders and industry audiences both through her work as a cyber security professional and through her various public speaking engagements. She blends a unique mix of technical expertise and executive presence to bridge the gap that can often form between security practitioners and business leaders.
