In today’s episode, we have Danny Jenkins, who is the CEO and
Co-Founder of ThreatLocker, a rapidly growing cybersecurity firm
focused on Zero Trust endpoint protection. With over 20 years in
cybersecurity and a background in ethical hacking, Danny is unique
in that he dropped out of school when he was 15 years old and has
an unconventional resume. Danny has built multiple security
companies and is widely recognized for his hands-on, real-world
approach to stopping ransomware and cyber threats before they
happen.
After witnessing firsthand how devastating cyberattacks can be, he
became a leading advocate for the Zero Trust model—blocking
everything by default and only allowing what’s trusted. Today,
ThreatLocker protects tens of thousands of organizations globally,
and Danny is a frequent speaker, Forbes Technology Council member,
and one of Orlando’s most influential leaders. We are proud to
feature a local thought leader today. Danny is right here in our
backyard in Central Florida and is at the helm of one of the
fastest growing cybersecurity firms in the world.
Today's hosts are Steve Curley,
CFA (Co-Managing Principal, 55 North Private Wealth)
& co-host Chris
Cannon, CFA (CIO/Principal, FirsTrust).
