Ryan is the Co-Founder and President of Outcome Security. From the onset of his career, Ryan Warns has been focused on solving the hard problems in cybersecurity. He started his career working for the DoD as a technical content editor for an internal publication where he was exposed to the breadth of cybersecurity problems and job functions across the industry. From there, he spent the majority of his early career focusing on reverse engineering, vulnerability analysis, and offensive capability development for Windows and Android.

After leaving the public sector, Ryan moved to the commercial cybersecurity space where he continued to work in different capacities as a technical leader and subject matter expert in reverse engineering, malware and vulnerability analysis, and Red Team spaces. During this time Ryan helped found a team focused on creating innovative cybersecurity solutions for situations where existing technology was insufficient, or where there were shortcomings in how the industry was currently addressing a problem. Many of these projects were focused on operationalizing threat intelligence by designing custom solutions, tooling, and analysis.

Ryan has presented independent research at CanSecWest, Infiltrate, COUNTERMEASURE, and Hack In The Box.

Ryan also has a passion for technical training and has served as a content lead, lead instructor, and technical director for multiple cybersecurity training programs. In addition to internal and customer training, he has designed and instructed training at Black Hat USA.
