About Brian S. Chaplow

I’m a U.S. Navy veteran with 26 years of operational leadership experience turned cybersecurity professional. I earned my Master of Science in Data Science (Cybersecurity specialization) at Utica University, focusing on machine learning-driven intrusion and anomaly detection. My work integrates structured, data-informed methods for SOC operations, threat intelligence, and vulnerability management.

Through Bytes • Bourbon • BBQ, I combine creativity and precision — connecting cybersecurity concepts with the artistry of barbecue, blending analytics and firecraft into accessible, engaging content.
