Daniel Reyes is a CISSP who spent twelve years in security operations, most recently leading a detection and response team for a mid-sized healthcare group in Texas. He reviews every resource and breach report on Cyber Security Firms for technical accuracy before it publishes.

Most of the people he has trained arrived having been told too much: a dozen acronyms, six vendors, and no clear idea which risk was theirs. His approach is to explain what an attack actually does before naming the tool that stops it, on the basis that most breaches start with something a reader could have recognised.

Areas of focus

  • Security operations and incident response
  • Phishing and credential attacks
  • Breach disclosure and notification
  • Vendor and managed service evaluation

Credentials

  • CISSP, certified 2016
  • 12 years in security operations
  • Based in Austin, Texas

How pages are checked

Every resource and breach report is reviewed against the same standard before it publishes: statistics carry a linked primary source, attack mechanisms are drawn as coded diagrams rather than generated, and anything that is a claim rather than a confirmed fact is labelled as one. The full standard is in the editorial policy.
