Larry Orton is a cybersecurity founder, researcher and leader. Over 19 years in the US Army, he led recruiting, retention and waiver programs, served on a combat deployment responsible for the brigade's readiness, and built Rally Point, a workflow tool the Army has used daily for four years. He earned a bachelor's in computer science from Liberty University and a Master of Information and Cybersecurity from UC Berkeley. His Berkeley capstone, an autonomous penetration testing system that took live machines to full control without human help, became a company. He writes about AI on offense, security leadership, and why breaches happen between teams. His first novel, Defenseless by Design, turns a modern breach into a story people actually finish. He lives in South Carolina.
