About the Author

FC is an author, keynote speaker, co‐founder of Cygenta, and former head of offensive cyber research at Raytheon. As an ethical hacker for the last three decades, FC has helped thousands of banks, governments, and other organizations advance their security.

He has shared his expertise in mainstream media, including the BBC and ITV, as well as popular industry podcasts such as Darknet Diaries (EP66). He has also been featured in printed media around the world, educating people about cybersecurity from a hacker's perspective.

His time as the head of offensive research at Raytheon enables him to bring to bear his knowledge of how nation‐states and the intelligence community work with cyber weapons and how to defend against them. The decades he has spent legally breaking into organizations, both physically and digitally, have taken him around the globe in the fight against cybercrime.

As co‐founders of Cygenta, FC and his wife, Dr. Jessica Barker, empower clients all around the world to understand cyber risk and the relationship between the digital, physical, and human elements of security.

An avid reader and polymath, FC enjoys trying new hobbies such as woodworking, pottery, and homespun science experiments—all while lacking musical talent, despite his best efforts.

Born in Colchester, England, FC now lives in the United States with his wife Jess and their cat Bubble.

You can find him at www.cygenta.co.uk and @_freakyclown_ on Twitter.
