In this episode, we are honored to have one of these amazing gentlemen (Dr. Aaron Estes – Ironwood Cyber CEO "Chief Epic Officer") on with us to talk all about his company Ironwood Cyber, and some of the cool things they're doing over there.
Ever since we met the Ironwood Cyber team based out of Ft. Worth Texas, we knew we had a solid professional passion and connection and we shared MANY similar interests. The Ironwood Cyber team is a strong group of Engineers originally founded by not one, but TWO Lockheed Martin Fellows respected for their incredible skillsets. Aaron Estes and Ethan Puchaty.
Lockheed Martin Fellowship represents less than 1% of the best technical Engineers the company has to offer and their backgrounds are quite impressive having worked for a company engineering some of the best technology the US Department of Defense has to offer.
After leaving Lockheed Martin to start their own Cybersecurity firm (Ironwood Cyber), the company has continued its tradition of developing amazing technology with such out of the box concepts that their endpoint protection solutions boast 3 patents. Focusing on side-channel analysis, they're quickly becoming a major player in the world of cybersecurity.
The conversation flowed so well, in fact, that we ended up breaking this awesome episode into two parts. The first focusing on the Ironwood origin story, and their technology and the team.
Then, in about a week, we'll be dropping part two, where we spend more time talking about their first electronic SWAG badge created in 2022 for DEFCON 30. We'll be looking at some teasers and talking to Aaron about what fun and interesting things they're doing for DEFCON 31. There may even be a few hints about the 2023 badge in the second part of this awesome conversation. I guess you'll just have to wait and see!!
