Kelly is a security practitioner with more than 30 years of experience protecting organizations across industries and continents. As Principal Security Practitioner at Zisher InfoSec, he combines deep technical expertise with executive perspective — the product of a career spanning the U.S. Air Force, SAIC, Nokia, NetScreen, Juniper Networks, and Horizon3.ai, plus a decade as CEO of information security consulting firms. As Education Director for ISSA Silicon Valley, Kelly develops the G.R.I.T. program — a cohort-based experience built on the conviction that the security community needs professionals who do the work, not test-takers. He doesn’t teach theory; he teaches reality.
