2018 Vendor Presentation: Malwarebytes
Michael Sherwood
Sherwood's officially been a technician since the mid-90s - but first pissed his mom off by breaking (and fixing) his new Apple IIc in the early 80s. He's been fortunate to serve clients both in the US Air Force as well as the private sector. Built some cool technician tools along the way which have helped 50+ million devices get setup and working again - he's kind of proud of this. Today you'll find him at Malwarebytes leading their technician program called Techbench. He loves our industry and serving others so if you're lucky, he'll buy you at least one beer!
Alex Smith
Alex fell in love with all things Windows and technology related in the late 90’s. It’s at the point now where it’s almost an unhealthy relationship. He used his unique in-depth Windows knowledge and problem-solving skills to train over 100,000+ technicians for 7+ years before using that knowledge to help make tools for those same technicians. Today, Alex can be found working for Malwarebytes as the Technical Product Manager of the Malwarebytes Toolset. This allows him to continue to support technicians while also feeding his unhealthy addiction to Windows.
