Mike Riemer – Cyber Security Expert, 25-Year Military Hero and Pulse Secure Ninja Architect – Over 10,000 Global Installations

As a Pulse Secure Ninja Architect, it could be argued that Mike Riemer helped invent and mature the Secure Access space. Serving for 25-years as a U.S. Air Force Cyber Security and Network Specialist, Riemer cut his teeth in the ultimate network security testing ground – namely, battlefields in Grenada, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Post-his sterling military career, Mr. Riemer took his cyber-security and network expertise into the global market place, having worked locally in greater Milwaukee for key Pulse Secure partner, Synercomm – and then joining the Secure Access teams at Neotaris, Netscreen, Juniper and now – coming full-circle, Pulse Secure. Riemer is the "expert's expert" in the Secure Access space, having quarterbacked, project managed or directly implementing over 10,000 installs and counting. Riemer has driven legacy installations that run bullet proof in global telecommunications, health care, financial services, manufacturing and the services-government space. Recently married to Christine with their blended family of boys, girls, cats and dogs – Mike forgets more about Secure Access than most experts will ever know. Balanced with Hebler's cyber-security, business and brand-acceleration background, Riemer grounds this presentation into a technical future vision that is compelling for Pulse Secure's customers, partners and end-users.
