About me
Aaron Turner is a battle-tested cybersecurity strategist with three decades of experience spanning offensive government operations, critical infrastructure security, identity and access management, and SaaS security — including foundational work on Active Directory and BitLocker at Microsoft and the founding of Siriux (acquired by Vectra AI).
As a faculty member at IANS Research, he regularly advises security leaders on topics ranging from identity threat detection and geopolitical risk to AI security and supply chain defense, delivering the kind of direct, operationally grounded guidance that can only come from someone who has built, broken, and defended systems under real pressure.
