Defensive Security with Kali Purple

Karl Lane embarked on his tech journey while stationed at NATO HQ in Brussels, Belgium. A colleague appreciated his writing style and asked for his assistance in creating a text-based game. To accomplish this, he needed to learn Linux and C coding. Following his military service, Karl formally enrolled in college as an IT major and secured a Technical Aide position at the world headquarters of the multinational 3M Company in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was there that he gained experience in software testing. What could be more enjoyable than creating games? Breaking them! Thus began a lengthy career that eventually led him into the field of defensive cybersecurity. Karl and his wife, Britni, have an ever-changing number of children as they are licensed foster parents. When not dedicating time to his family, he can usually be found playing his bass guitar.
