Initially, working as a security product specialist and incident responder, then as an incident manager across central London. 'At a deep level, security has always been top of mind for me; it's in my nature to ask questions, be curious, and be vigilant. This 'Security Mindset' translates into Zero tolerance for any crime, especially cybercrime, and a Zero Trust by design viewpoint.' Today, John writes content for Techopedia and multiple technology companies in the U.S. and Canada. He's been featured in the InfoSec Magazine and Writers & Artists.co.uk. John's writing journey enables him to present the PCIP 3.0 Ultimate Study Guide from a practical, pragmatic, and resourceful viewpoint. With a passion for creative writing, and a fascination for anything cyber-related, backed by his security background, his future projects include the PCIP 4.0, which will coincide with the PCI-DSS 4.0 - 2025 compliance deadline.
