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.
