Kev Quirk

Hi! 👋 I’m Kev, a cyber security nerd, web design enthusiast and privacy advocate from the UK 🇬🇧. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet 🌐.

👨‍💻 My Work

I have worked in the cyber security industry for well over a decade now. Currently I am the digital forensics and incident response lead across Europe 🇪🇺 for Bank of America 💵 🇺🇸. I’ve been at the Bank since 2017 and it’s the most interesting job I’ve ever had.

Prior to working in cyber, I was in the British Army 🎖️ for 5 years. I got to travel all over the world and served in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

📰 My Newsletter

I have a monthly newsletter that I send. It tends to cover some stuff that’s been on my mind, some info about posts both from this blog and elsewhere, and some insider stuff that I don’t publish anywhere else.

You can read more about my newsletter here, or you can subscribe using the form below.

📖 My Guestbook

With this site having a 90s feel, I felt that comments wouldn’t cut it. So I decided to go with an old school guestbook instead.

If you want to give me some feedback on a post 🤬, or just say hi 👋, you can sign my guestbook here.
