Jose Hernandez

José Hernandez is a Senior Manager for the Threat Research team at Splunk. He started his professional career at Prolexic Technologies (now Akamai), fighting DDOS attacks from “anonymous” and “lulzsec” against Fortune 100 companies. As an engineering Co-Founder of Zenedge Inc. (acquired by Oracle Inc.), Hernandez helped build technologies to fight bots and web-application attacks. While working at Splunk as a Security Architect, he built and released an auto-mitigation framework used to automatically fight attacks in large organizations. He has also built security operation centers and run a public threat-intelligence service. Although security information has been the focus of his career, Hernandez has found that his true passion is in solving problems and creating solutions.
