FOUNDERS:


KAT VALENTINE: PRINCIPAL COMPLIANCE & SECURITY CONSULTANT

Getting her start with phones and computers at the early age of 6, Kat decided
to put fear of success and failure aside to start Osmosis Security, a boutique
security firm that supported her vision of what the professional hacker
community should be focused on.

Kat had humble beginnings and started her career working technical support for a
local dial-up ISP in 1998. Since then, Kat worked in many different roles, and
is experienced with implementing, testing, and supporting diverse client LAN/WAN
environments; deploying a wide array of Cisco hardware and security
technologies’ and performing PCI-DSS assessments as a certified Approved
Scanning Vendor/Qualified Security Assessor, security researcher, and forensic
analyst. She applies that knowledge as a member of Osmosis Security’s Compliance
& Security team where she performs risk assessments, gap assessments with
compliance frameworks like GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI, penetration testing, and
evaluates infrastructure, applications, and network assets for adherence to
security best practices and compliance requirements.

In her spare time, Kat has designed the first hack/phreak shoeline, the
PhreakerSneaker.


RANDY WILL: PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT & REVERSE ENGINEER

Randy got started in information security in the late 90’s when a friend
introduced him to “this Linux thing” he had recently discovered. Like Kat, Randy
started his career at a local dial-up ISP. He studied Biomedical Engineering at
Marquette and spent a couple years as the primary technologist for a
rehabilitation research center. In more recent times, Randy spent a few years as
a QSA/PA-QSA focused on emerging payment applications before joining Amazon Web
Services to help improve enterprise and startup engagement and satisfaction.

Nowadays, Randy has recently exited an information security startup after a
$300M sale and spends most of his time taking things apart, measuring and
documenting components and products, designing cost effective DIY IoT systems,
maintaining some Linux device drivers and other FOSS projects, and diving into
newly enforced compliance standards like GDPR.
