Personal Details

Bio

Nick Tait, Security Engineer, Product security, Red Hat

Nick's role focuses on the Red Hat OpenStack Platform. When vulnerabilities are reported to my team, our first goal is to determine the severity. How could this be used maliciously and how urgently does it need to be fixed? Before this he worked in software development for manufacturing and logistics companies. A great deal of Nick's free time goes into rock climbing or just exploring the outdoors.
