Informazioni sull?autore

Born 1976 in Afghanistan, Timur Qader, the youngest of three, left the country in 1978 as a result of the coup d’etat and Russian invasion. His father secured a position with the United Nations and the negotiated terms were that he would go on assignment and in return the UN would extract his wife and four kids to meet him in his first assignment. For the next ten years, the family lived in several countries and had the opportunity to experience different cultures along the way.

In 1985, Timur’s father was reassigned to headquarters in New York and the family moved to Westchester, New York. After graduating from Lakeland High School in Shrub Oak, NY, Timur attended the University of Buffalo where he received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Right after college Timur moved to the Capital Region of New York (Albany), where he started work not in engineering but telecommunications with Bell Atlantic that shortly became Verizon. Along the way, he completed his MBA, and MS in Information Security and met his wive Vanessa Qader with whom he had two boys named Xavier and Darian Qader.

Over twenty-five years, Timur has held two positions as CISO, and worked for the security think tank Center for Internet Security (CIS). He spends his time with family, exercise and education. Timur received what he deems as his greatest achievement short of family, his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2022, and he continues to practice the martial art as part of his exercise regimen.
