BSidesCharm Directors

Jeff Brocious

Jeff Brocious (@JeffBSecurity) is currently working for a local company as Manager of Internal Security. Over his 30+ year career, he has worked on various software development projects, as well as helping his companies become more secure. So how does that tie in with BSidesCharm? After attending BSidesSF in 2013, he sent an email to Security BSides asking why there didn’t seem to be a BSides in Maryland. The simple response was “because you haven’t started one.” After several email exchanges, phone calls, and a lot of thought, he decided to take on the task of starting a BSides in the Baltimore area. After what seemed like forever, a small group of volunteers was able to put together the first BSidesCharm in April 2015. Now with five successful BSidesCharm conferences in the books, he is still trying to learn how to balance work, family and BSides.

From a teenage hacker to an accomplished information security professional over a 17 year span, Jacquelyn Blanchard focuses on designing secure embedded systems that thwart the bad guys.
