Founder
Matt Johnston
It’s not easy to claim the title of expert in any field, let alone Cybersecurity, because that title requires a breadth and depth of experience, and success, that is not generally accessible. After 25 years of practicing Cybersecurity across numerous Fortune level enterprises and for the top companies in the industry, Matt has achieved that distinction.
As well as founding Practive Security, Matt is the lead consultant who is heavily involved in all the services we provide. Anything you receive from Practive will be sourced from his experience and standards, to make sure you receive the best that we can offer.
Matt has worked as a Security Analyst and Incident Responder; a Security Engineer responsible for technology deployments, maintenance, and integrations; a Security Strategist responsible for the capabilities and maturity of cybersecurity programs at large enterprises, as an Operations Manager, has led Threat Intelligence practices that focus on researching and understanding the adversary, and as a Manager of a Security Product team.
Through all this time, he has seen what works well in Cybersecurity because he has researched the problems, implemented the solutions, and managed the outcomes they produce.
Matt resides in San Diego County with his wife and their three daughters.
