Founder of WhiteHat Security. World-Renowned Professional Hacker. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt.
Published Author. Influential Blogger. Off-Road Race Driver.
Jeremiah Grossman's career spans nearly 20 years and has lived a literal lifetime in computer security to
become one of the industry's biggest names. And since Jeremiah earned a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt,
the media has described him as "the embodiment of converged IT and physical security.” Preventing
attacks from the scariest cyber-criminals is all in a day's work for Jeremiah, but staying a keystroke
ahead of the bad guys isn't easy. In 2001, Jeremiah founded WhiteHat Security, which today has one of
the largest professional hacking armies on the planet. Let it sink in. Professional. Hacker. Army.
Jeremiah has received a number of industry awards, been publicly thanked by Microsoft, Mozilla,
Google, Facebook, and many others for privately informing them of weaknesses in their systems -- a
polite way of saying, ‘hacking them'. His research has included new ways to surreptitiously turn on
anyone's computer video camera and microphone from anywhere across the Internet, sidestep
corporate firewalls, abuse online advertising networks to take any website offline, hijack the email and
bank accounts of millions, silently rip out saved passwords and surfing history from web browsers, and
many other innovative cyber-attack techniques – some so insidious and fundamental that many still
have not been fixed to this day.
Collectively, it's no surprise Jeremiah has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, NY Times and
hundreds of other media outlets around the world who rely upon his expertise regularly. Just type
“Jeremiah Grossman” into your favorite search engine, you'll see. Of course, all of this was after Mr.
Grossman served as information security officer at Yahoo! Being both technical and business savvy,
Jeremiah Grossman is the ultimate ‘white hat.'
