Bio
Cat Murdock is a Security Analyst with GuidePoint Security’s Threat and Attack Simulation team. For the last few years, she has worked on red teams predominantly as a social engineer. Murdock finds the space where privacy policies end and users’ choice regarding their own privacy fascinating. Good intentions towards privacy only go so far, and there are many gaps in knowledge, ability, and/or desire that increase risk to individuals’ privacy. She likes to explore where this interacts with organizations’ established privacy policies. She also really likes dogs.
