Interview: Corey Thuen

Bio

Corey Thuen is a senior researcher at Digital Bond, an ICS focused security company. Corey caught the tinkering bug when he was a wee lad modifying video game save files in a hex editor. Ever since, his most uttered phrase seems to be “what happens if I…?” He has spent years breaking Industrial Control Systems at Digital Bond, Southfork Security, and before that at Idaho National Laboratory.

Corey is a US CyberCorps Scholarship for Service Fellow and received his MS in Computer Science from the University of Idaho. Security is his passion, not just a job. Corey regularly speaks at conferences, teaches hands-on training exercises, and participates in capture-the-flag “hacker fights”.
