Penetration Testing & How It Is Done From The Entrepreneurial Perspective

As we all know, Penetration Testing is a very crucial aspect of Cybersecurity.  We have had numerous shows about this, but what makes this one different is that we will be learning more about it from the standpoint of an entrepreneur.  Many Penetration Testers dream about having their own cinsultancy, but very few take that huge step.

Greg Johnson started Webcheck Security after a long sales and management career with technology companies such as WordPerfect/Novell, SecurityMetrics and A-LIGN.   He loves people and providing solutions with integrity. A BYU graduate, Greg began his career in the days of 64k 5.25” floppy drives and Mac 128k’s. As the industry evolved, Greg moved into the cyber arena and learned a great deal about cyber controls, compliance, data breach and response, and in 2016 earned his PCIP or PCI Professional designation. 

In his experience as VP of Business Development with A-LIGN, Greg consulted, guided and educated dozens of clients in compliance guidelines and certifications for standards such as:

*PCI

*ISO 27001

*SOC 1 and SOC 2

*GDPR

*FISMA

*FedRAMP

*HIPAA

*NIST

Greg also has a thorough grasp on the concepts of web application, infrastructure penetration testing (both internal and external) as well as managed detection and response, incident response and digital forensic investigations.

When Greg is not providing cyber solutions for his clients, he can be found playing with his grandchildren and rehearsing or performing with the world-renowned Tabernacle Choir on Temple Square.
