Mr. Wolfgang has over 20 years of experience in the Information Technology field, spending 18 years focusing exclusively on Information Security, primarily in the role of penetration tester. Mr. Wolfgang leads the Shorebreak Security penetration testing team, and has established Shorebreak Security as the "go-to" penetration testing team for several Federal government agencies and commercial entities.

These systems are vital to many of the products that NOAA produces and cannot "miss a beat". Mr. Wolfgang's expertise in information security, networking, and Operating Systems allows him to conduct focused, purposeful, and cautious testing to ensure that mission critical operations are not affected.

For over four years, Mr. Wolfgang led teams and performed penetration testing on the nation's nuclear weapons complex, and other sensitive and critical areas of DOE, including the national science labs. In this position, Mr. Wolfgang attacked some of the brightest minds that protect some of the most sensitive national secrets - nuclear weapons design information. Mr. Wolfgang held a DOE "Q" clearance, which is equivalent to a DOD Top Secret.
