Info security expert to address Worcester group

A global expert on computer security will be one of the featured speakers in the Worcester Economic Club’s upcoming “speaker series,” the group announced.

Aaron Portnoy, recently featured on the cover of Time magazine, will address the club’s annual meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at the College of the Holy Cross.

Portnoy, vice-president and co-founder of Exodus Intelligence, based in Austin, Texas, started his career in reverse engineering to uncover computer vulnerabilities while still in high school by hacking the network of his school, the Massachusetts Academy of Math & Science in Worcester, according to a statement from the club. “Today, he is one of the world’s foremost experts in reverse engineering for vulnerability discovery, having determined major vulnerabilities in the systems of multiple institutions,” the statement read.

The club’s annual speaker series features many thought leaders, including authors, journalists, economists, business leaders and Nobel laureates.
