As the CEO and co-founder of Black Talon Security, Gary is dedicated to data security and understanding the latest trends in the industry, particularly as they relate to the dental industry. He has decades of experience in software development and computer IT, has written over a million lines of code, and developed one of the very first cloud-based healthcare systems.
As a sought-after speaker and writer, he also lectures nationally on cybersecurity threats and their impact on dental practices and has presented to thousands of healthcare providers. He has trained thousands of practices across the U.S. on how to maintain “best practices” in cybersecurity. He has been featured in over 70 national publications and news stories in the dental, medical, legal and financial industries.
In addition, Gary has over 15 years as an instructor at West Point and is involved in law enforcement. He is also a member in InfraGard, a partnership between the FBI and members of the private sector for the protection of U.S. critical infrastructure.
Black Talon has been called in to assist with some of the largest distributed ransomware attacks in U.S. history resulting in millions of dollars of ransom payments in the dental community and tens of millions of dollars in damages to these practices. In every instance, all data was recovered and successfully decrypted. Black Talon is an expert in both preventative measures as well as breach recovery.
