Steve Gibson

Birthday: March 25, 1955

Steve Gibson is the founder & CEO of Gibson Research Corporation, located in Southern California. GRC's website mostly reflects Steve's life-long passion for all-things-technology including Internet Security. He began programming computers in 1970, at the age of 15, and he never stopped. Steve believes in "old School" computing, and, yes, fondly recalls working with computers having front panel toggle switches and 16 Kbytes of memory. Today, because he lives to code, even though it's a bit nuts, he still writes all of his programs in 100% pure assembly language. Listeners to his weekly Security Now podcast, now in its 21st year, often comment that they can hear his love and enthusiasm for technology in his voice. It's the real deal, and after more than 20 years of weekly podcast focus upon all aspects of security, Steve enjoys sharing the insights his deep background in computing brings to today's Internet and enterprise security challenges.
