Welcome to this episode of Cyber Distortion, where we explore the cutting edge of technology, security, and the future of humanity itself. Today, we have a truly extraordinary guest joining us: Len Noe, a Transhumanist with over 10 chips embedded in his body. Len isn’t just a futurist—he’s living proof of what the future could hold, using his integrated technology to perform hacks and complete takeovers on various devices. His unique perspective challenges the boundaries between human and machine, and today, he’s here to share his incredible journey and insights with us.

Len’s path to becoming a white hat hacker and a technical evangelist at CyberArk is as fascinating as the technology he wields. Once a 1%er biker, Len made a dramatic transition from the world of outlaw motorcycle clubs to the front lines of cyber defense. His story is one of transformation, not just in terms of his career but in the very way he interacts with the world around him, using the embedded chips in his body as tools for exploration, protection, and demonstration.

In this conversation, we’ll dive deep into the world of Transhumanism, explore the ethical implications of merging man with machine, and discuss how Len’s experiences have shaped his views on the future of cybersecurity. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a security professional, or just curious about the possibilities of human augmentation, this episode promises to be a thought-provoking journey into the unknown.

Jason Popillion is a CISSP and serves as a CIO/CTO of a SaaS company and Kevin Pentecost is a CISSP, CISM, CEH, CPT, MPCS, MCSE, CCA, ITIL-F and serves as the Information Security Director for a Manufacturing company.
