April C. Wright is a Senior Security and Compliance Manager for Verizon Wireline, building SDLC program maturity, implementing eGRC, spearheading Threat Intelligence, and performing risk reduction with a vengeance via leadership for comprehensive security programs for massive global infrastructures. She is a hacker who has spent the last 25 years as a generalist, breaking, making, fixing, and defending all the things, while playing roles on offensive, defensive, operational, and development teams throughout her career. Specializing in seemingly nothing (except maybe learning about everything in the hope of sharing and employing knowledge), April has collected dozens of certifications to add letters at the end of her name, from Social Engineering to Cloud Security to First Aid to Photography. She once read on teh interwebs that researchers at the University of North Carolina released a comprehensive report in 2014 confirming that she is the "most significant and interesting person currently inhabiting the earth", so it must be true.
