Troy Hunt is an Australian web security consultant known for public education and outreach on security topics. He created Have I Been Pwned?, a data breach search website that allows non-technical users to see if their personal information has been compromised. He has also authored several popular security-related courses on Pluralsight, and regularly presents keynotes and workshops on security topics (Source).

He holds the title of Microsoft Regional Director and Microsoft Most Valuable Professional for Developer Security. He doesn’t work for the company but the brand recognises his community contributions through their award programs which he has been a part of since 2011.

For fourteen years prior to going fully independent, he worked at Pfizer; the last seven of these years being responsible for application architecture in the Asia Pacific region. Time spent in a large corporate environment gave him huge exposure to all aspects of technology as well as the diverse cultures my role spanned. Many of the things he teaches in post-corporate life are based on these experiences, particularly as a result of working with a large number of outsourcing vendors across the globe.

He regularly speaks to the US Congress about the impact of data breaches.
