Michael Hacker: Information Security Analyst, Teacher, and Amazon Bestselling Author
I am a United States Air Force veteran, graduate of the Defense Language Institute, and trained Interrogator/Debriefer. I hold a Master of Arts in English Linguistics from Arizona State University and am a former professor.
In my current incarnation, I am an Information Security Analyst. I have both GIAC Security Essentials (GSEC) and ISO 27001 auditor certifications. I’m very interested in learning more about penetration testing and cyber threat intelligence, and am currently open to new opportunities.
As a military linguist, I found myself in the employ of such federal agencies as the National Security Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, and Federal Bureau of Investigation, working primarily in the SIGINT, OSINT, and HUMINT fields. I have worked as a professional translator & interpreter from both Russian and Japanese to English. I have also studied French, Mandarin Chinese, German, and a smattering of other languages.
