John Svazic is the founder and principal consultant of EliteSec Information Security Consultants, a boutique information security consultancy near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He has been writing and running gamified tabletops since 2017. He used to run an infosec podcast called Purple Squad Security, in which he had a few episodes running gamified tabletops with hosts from other infosec podcasts. He also had a talk at Tactical Edge 2020 and the True North 2018 where he led live tabletop exercises with volunteers. John has been in the IT field for over 25 years, with the last 13 years focused on information security. He holds a number of certifications, including CISSP, CISM, OSCP, and others. His goal is to share knowledge and experience, as well as to get a bit more recognition for his efforts. He is not the first to try to gamifying tabletops, but his approach is a lot more approachable than others not in the infosec space.
