Cody Kretsinger

Cody Kretsinger

Hacker. Strategist. Reluctant Adult.

Cody Kretsinger used to be the problem. Now he helps solve them.

A former black hat hacker turned cybersecurity strategist, Cody has spent the past decade leading Red, Blue, and Purple teams—attacking, defending, and occasionally arguing with himself somewhere in between. He’s navigated high-stakes breaches, built security programs from scratch, and explained (more than once) why clicking “Enable Macros” should probably be a felony.

Cody’s stage presence is sharp, candid, and refreshingly real. He’s delivered no-fluff, war story-packed talks at top security conferences like GrrCon and BSides—blending uncomfortable truths with the kind of humor that makes infosec folks both laugh and wince. He’s also a co-founder of a nonprofit dedicated to helping cybersecurity professionals stay ahead of emerging threats.

Today, Cody works with MSPs, MSSPs, and security teams that are done being reactive and ready to fight smarter. He brings real-world tactics, razor-sharp insight, and a steady hand when things go sideways.

No buzzwords. No fluff. The kind of strategy you only get from someone who once broke the rules to learn them.
