David Raviv having a conversation with Greg Scansy

Greg Scansy is a graduate of Purdue University with a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering and Technology. A native of Northwest Indiana, Greg moved to Naples, FL in 2008 to escape the horrible winters of NWI and live out his Jimmy Buffet fantasy.  Greg is the CTO of Blueshift Cybersecurity, Inc. (BSC). BSC is a Security as a Service company whose goal is to bring advanced, SOC (Security Operation Center) monitored cyber-defense capabilities to organizations regardless of size. The problem that organizations face today is that while there are a plethora of tools available to large entities with established SOC capabilities to gather, decode, analyze and alert on security telemetry, the majority of organizations do not have the expertise or budget to stand up even basic SOC capabilities to monitor and facilitate actions based on this security telemetry, even if the telemetry is highly filtered and pre-analyzed by sophisticated algorithms and A.I.  Blueshift takes the approach of supplying a highly modular, value driven XDR (Extended Detection and Response) platform along with managed SOC services to provide not only proven and highly valuable managed and monitored detection/response capabilities, but also the enablement of new capabilities based on current threats and threat actor tradecraft.

Brett Johnson. Former US Most Wanted Cybercriminal. Now Good Guy.  The United States Secret Service called Mr. Johnson "The Original Internet Godfather" for his role in refining modern financial cybercrime.  Or to put it another way: Brett was convicted of 39 felonies, placed on the US Most Wanted List, escaped from prison, and...he built the first organized cybercrime community, Shadowcrew. Shadowcrew was a precursor to today's darknet and darknet markets and it laid the foundation for the way modern cybercrime channels operate today.  

Johnson was sentenced to 90 months in Federal Prison. End of story?  Not hardly.  Brett found redemption through his sister, his wife Michele, and finally the FBI. He was given the chance to turn his life around. He took it.  Today, Brett is considered one of the leading authorities on cybercrime, identity theft, and cybersecurity on the planet. He is also Chief Criminal Officer at Arkose Labs.  He works hard to protect businesses and consumers from the type of person he used to be.  And yes, he takes that shit seriously.
