Curt Stapleton
Founder and CEO
Introduced to the 8-bit Atari 400 computer and the BASIC programming language in 5th grade, Curt has been a hacker since 1979. He established a 24/7 dial-up BBS in 1983, started and ran a mail-order computer sales company in 1988, and earned a computer science degree in 1993. He’s been piling on IT security knowledge and experience for more than 35 years.
He has planned and conducted penetration tests of some of the largest, and most critical enterprises and applications in the country for:
- Internal Revenue Service and other Treasury Bureaus
- Department of Defense (DISA, NSA, DIA)
- Federal Reserve Banks
Additional clients include labor unions, hospitals, public education systems, online campaign management and voting systems, and many other government and commercial organizations.
He thrives on the complex and has patience and tenacity to see things through at work and IRL, and as a result, Ethical Hacking and Penetration testing come naturally. His drive to understand technology coupled with his abilities to identify obscure vulnerabilities and discover new angles make him a formidable penetration tester.
When he’s not sitting in front of new computers, he’s often sitting in front of old computers. While he’s AFK, you’ll find him making noise with guitars and pianos, telling his kids the same thing over and over again, reading sci-fi, and flying kites.
