Adriel Desautels’s Summary

Adriel T. Desautels is a senior partner at Netragard LLC. He is also a leader in the IT Security industry and specializes in advanced network and systems penetration and defense. Prior to founding Netragard with his partner David Morris, Adriel founded the internationally recognized SNOsoft Research Team that quickly became the think tank for Adriel’s first company, Secure Network Operations, Inc. Today SNOsoft is run and managed by Netragard, LLC. and continues to perform bleeding edge security research.

Adriel also has extensive expertise in the design and deployment of sophisticated Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention (IDS/IPS) technologies. In early 2002 Adriel designed an IDS/IPS technology with powerful correlation capabilities that was later acquired by a private third party. As a result of his expertise Adriel has acted as an expert witness in U.S. Federal Court and still continues to offer expert witness services today.

Adriel’s primary responsibilities at Netragard are to design and manage all of Netragard’s professional service offerings. In doing so Adriel focuses on delivering services that will produce a threat level that is greater than or equal to the threat that Netragard’s customers will face in the real world. Testing at this intense level enables Netragard to protect its customers from real world threats. Adriel’s secondary responsibility is to run Netragard’s Exploit Acquisition Program (EAP). EAP is designed to acquire bleeding edge, high value research from the ethical hacking community.

Adriel Desautels’s Specialties:

My specialty is to create services that test applications, systems, or entire IT infrastructures (and personnel) at threat levels that are equal to or greater than what they might face in the real world. Testing at anything less would be doing our customers an injustice.
