I’m Mack Staples, the author of this blog.  I work for Idea Information Security, headquartered in Jacksonville, FL.  I’m a consultant and security researcher specializing in web application security review.

My background is in coding, and I have experience with both dynamic websites and traditional PC applications.  I hold a bachelor’s degree from the University of Advancing Technology in Network Security.  I have conducted network and web security reviews on companies in every arena, from manufacturing to public works, food, software development, and travel.

I also have have extensive experience with physical security. Since 1999, I have have taught firearms safety courses and acted as range officer for other instructors. My physical security knowledge also extends to lock technology; I have competed annually in the Defcon LPCon since 2005. All of this experience has been applied repeatedly while conducting physical security reviews for schools, public works agencies, and private citizens.
