Bio
I’m Kyle Parrish, a cyber security professional with over 14 years of experience in the technology industry. Transitioning from a defensive cybersecurity role within managed service providers (MSPs) and large organizations, I’ve recently embraced a new challenge as a penetration tester and cyber range developer. My journey into offensive security was ignited by my participation in the annual Holiday Hack Challenge, where I discovered a passion for exploring new strategies and pushing the boundaries of cybersecurity.
I’m deeply committed to fostering the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. I actively mentor students new to the industry, sharing my knowledge and insights to empower others to succeed.
Outside of work, I’m a dedicated tinkerer, always exploring new technologies and experimenting with creative solutions. I have a knack for juggling and enjoy the challenge of riding unicycles. An avid outdoor enthusiast, I find solace and inspiration in nature’s vast playgrounds. Whether I’m Geocaching, mountainbiking, or fishing, I’m always seeking new adventures and experiences.
With a multifaceted career spanning defensive cybersecurity, offensive penetration testing, and community mentorship, I embody the spirit of continuous learning and exploration in the ever-evolving landscape of technology and cybersecurity.
