Founder and Chief Security Catalyst
Security Catalyst

Michael Santarcangelo's keen ability to engage people in the practice of information protection has launched him to the forefront of the information security community. His unique insights, innovative concepts and truly effective strategies are informed by extensive research. His speaking programs, training, coaching and strategic consulting services along with the ground-breaking "Security Salon" and his original Security Toolkits, motivate organizations to better information protection. Michael's mission is to support those who are serious about information security through the sometimes confusing challenge of engaging people, developing processes and deploying the right tools and technologies. He helps organizations move off the rollercoaster of "security diets" and into a mindset of protecting information. His first book, Into the Breach, will be released in the Fall of 2007. It will be followed by the Campaign Across America, a cross-country tour to spread the information security message.
