Tarah Marie Wheeler (born February 12, 1979)[1] is an American technology and cybersecurity executive and author. She is currently Senior Director, Data Trust & Threat and Vulnerability Management at Splunk,[2] and Cybersecurity Policy Fellow at D.C. policy think-tank New America.[3][4] She is the former Cybersecurity Czar at Symantec,[5] author of Women In Tech, and founder of Infosec Unlocked. Wheeler served in several roles at Microsoft Game Studios for Halo and Lips for Xbox.

Early life and education

Wheeler received her bachelor's degree from Carroll College and a Master's degree in political science from Portland State University.[6] In 2004, she was named a National Science Foundation fellow.[7]

Career

Early career

In 2012, she founded cloud computing company Fizzmint.[8]

In 2014, Wheeler founded Infosec Unlocked, a diversity non-profit, whose goal is to help bring more diverse voices to infosec conferences across the United States through paper writing events and scholarships.[9] This was an extension of her YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/user/tarahwheelervanvlack series] where she discussed diversity topics, "DEF CON Unlocked." [10] This series mostly covered topics relating to diversity at DEF CON, one of the world's largest hacker conferences.

Current

In 2016, Wheeler was named a Cybersecurity Passcode Influencer by Christian Science Monitor.[11] In 2016, she spoke to the Federal Trade Commission on information security in tech startups[12] and published Women In Tech, a book dedicated to teaching women how to succeed in tech careers. She gave advice to women technologists on interview techniques[13][14] and salary negotiation,[15] when she was a systems architect at mobile encryption firm Silent Circle.[16] In the same year, Wheeler had an RFID chip embedded in her left hand.[17] In the fall of 2016 the University of California, Berkeley taught a class on Wheeler's book and the necessities for overcoming barriers to entry in the technology industry and the requirements for success as a woman trying to enter the field.[18]

After a record-setting Kickstarter campaign,[19][20] Wheeler published Women In Tech with several contributors, including Esther Dyson and Brianna Wu, one of the targets of the Gamergate controversy.[21] She experienced threats for including Wu, but retained her as a coauthor due to Wu's experience in the gaming industry.[22] Wheeler has experienced multiple death and rape threats for her online activism.[23][24][25]

She has been quoted in media about active cybersecurity incident response and data breaches, such as the WannaCry incident,[26] Wifi Krack,[27] the Equifax data breach,[28] and speaks publicly about the cybersecurity gap in the United States. Tarah is also a frequent speaker on international policy issues relating to cybersecurity, such as cyberterrorism and cyberattacks.[29]

In August 2017, Wheeler announced on Twitter that she left Symantec to work on several books.[30]

She is currently Senior Director, Data Trust & Threat and Vulnerability Management at Splunk,[31] and Cybersecurity Policy Fellow at D.C. policy think-tank New America.[32][33]

Personal life

She previously married Dean Van Vlack on June 19, 2010 but later divorced.[34][35] On January 8, 2017, Wheeler got engaged to noted hacker Deviant Ollam.[36][37] Wheeler and Ollam married on July 1, 2017.[38]
