Mick Baccio fell in love with the idea of cyberspace around nine years old after reading Neuromancer, thinking “I could do that.”
Before joining Splunk, he held the title of Chief Information Security Officer at Pete for America, holding the honor of being the first CISO in the history of US presidential campaigns. Mick was also the White House Threat Intelligence Branch Chief in both the Obama and Trump administrations and helped create the threat intelligence program during the rollout of the Affordable Care Act at the Department of Health and Human Services.
He is still trying to do ‘that’.
As a Global Security Advisor, Mick leverages his unique background and technical expertise to help customers solve complex security problems. In his spare time, Mick is a ThruntCon founder and muppet owner.
