Dena Konrad
Consultant in NewYork
Dena Konrad is a Kansas-based cybersecurity professional and the brains behind Dena Tech Solutions. She started the company three years ago and has seen her clientele grow by over 200%. Konrad’s fast-growing client network is due to her abilities. She has a strong reputation for helping companies identify vulnerabilities that can be used to attack their systems. At one time, she helped a company identify, and seal, a loophole that would have cost it millions of dollars had it been exploited. Konrad’s success is largely due to her passion for technology and the fact that she has some serious skills to back her passion. Konrad was the class tech guru back in high school and would develop simple software solutions that could help her classmates solve their problems. Once she joined college, she decided to pursue a degree in applied mathematics and graduated among the top in her class. Her strong performance landed her a tech role at a fast-growing fintech startup in San Francisco. While working there, she realized that cybersecurity was a real threat to players in the fintech industry. To capitalize on this presented opportunity, she went back to school and pursued a Master of Science in cybersecurity engineering. The knowledge that she acquired at the post-graduate level propelled her to form Dena Tech Solutions. The company continues to grow exponentially, and Konrad has already identified a new area of growth for the company. She is currently studying cryptography and wants to help improve smart contracts security in the blockchain ecosystem. She understands that this is a fast-growing market and wants to leverage it to take her company to the next level. While all this makes her a pretty busy individual, she also creates time for social engagements. She particularly loves car racing and spends her free weekends at the Kansas Speedway.
