Scott began his journey into cyber security in the defence sector focusing on radio operations. His knowledge of radio propagation, modulation schemes, encoding and encryption methods enabled him to intercept and derive meaningful intelligence from enemy communications. Scott was later head hunted to mentor intelligence analysts operating out of Joint Signals Service Unit who were building a new internet operations capability. During this time Scott worked closely with multinational intelligence agencies and was awarded a commendation by the commanding officer of JSSU. His first civilian role was to continue to deliver training in cybersecurity which he did for two years as the head of product delivery for QA Ltd - creating simulated training environments to facilitate malware analysis, infrastructure attack, SOC operations and wifi audit. He now develops and delivers training with NotSoSecure and has taught at BlackHat conferences.
