David Kovar was recently a cyber security and incident response leader for a major consulting firm. He shifted focus to disruptive technologies and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in International Affairs while consulting on UAVs. He runs a commercial UAV company that provides disaster response, precision agriculture, surveying, and other aerial imaging services. He’s also been an entrepreneur, ediscovery consultant, software engineer, search and rescue incident commander, executive protection agent, and lethal forensicator. He’s collected images in China, rescued wayward Americans in Australia, fenced with APT actors from all over the world, and led a mission to Tajikistan to evaluate the emergency preparedness of many local agencies. Oh, and he flies sailplanes, fixed wings, helicopters, and drones.
