EVENT — Digital Broadcast | Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Arizona Jobs Explained! Series — Interview: Cybersecurity Career Paths


Hunter Storm is the Founder of Black Star Institute, a CISO, President, Advisory Board Member, SOC Black Ops Team Member, Principal Security Architect, Systems Architect, QED‑C TAC Relationship Leader, and Cyber‑Physical‑Psychological Hybrid Threat Expert with decades of experience across global Fortune 100 enterprises and critical‑infrastructure environments. She is a federal whistleblower, an experience that informs her work on institutional accountability and systemic failure across interconnected global systems.
She is the originator of the field of Human‑Layer Security and multiple adjacent disciplines through her foundational framework, Hacking Humans: The Ports and Services Model of Social Engineering (1994–2007), which established system‑level metaphors that now underpin modern socio‑technical security practice. She is also the originator of Hybrid Threat Modeling and multiple other disciplines and fields that arose from navigating two decades of hybrid threat environments in real-world operations.
Hunter Storm is also the creator of The Storm Project: AI, Cybersecurity, Quantum, and the Future of Intelligence (2023-2026), a long‑horizon research initiative examining the convergence of emerging technologies, governance, and hybrid threat dynamics. Her work spans AI, cybersecurity, quantum technologies, platform governance, and systemic risk across complex global socio‑technical systems.
She contributes to ANSI X9, FS‑ISAC, NIST, and QED‑C, shaping standards, strategy, and policy in cybersecurity, financial systems, and post‑quantum cryptography (PQC). Her research, frameworks, and advisory work place her among the small group of practitioners influencing the United States’ quantum and post‑quantum governance landscape from within the ecosystem.
This appearance was made possible thanks to the show’s host, Ranjani Venkatakrishnan, whose patience, curiosity, and professionalism kept the door open while Hunter Storm completed major initiatives.
