From the Air Force to the startup world: lessons learned along the way

Vince Crisler began his cybersecurity career in the US Air Force, commissioned on December 7, 2001, and separated as a Captain in 2008. The Air Force took him from running networks at Ramstein Air Base to the Pentagon's National Military Command Center to the White House, where he served as Chief Information Security Officer for the Executive Office of the President and built the White House's first 24x7x365 security operations center. After government service he co-founded Dark Cubed, raised more than $10M in venture funding, earned two US patents, and led the company to its acquisition by Celerium, where he serves today as Chief Strategy Officer and CISO. The Dark Cubed platform was selected by the DoD Cyber Crime Center to protect defense contractors. He is a director of SCI Engineered Materials and co-founder of Motherwell Distilling.
