Babak Pasdar is an ethical hacker and a globally-recognized expert in Cyber-Security, the Cloud, and Crypto-currency. He has a reputation for developing innovative approaches and methodologies for the industry’s most complex security problems. Throughout his career, Pasdar has founded multiple groundbreaking Cyber-Security firms, developed large-scale infrastructures for some of the most well-known global companies, and identified critical threats to national security.

While contracted by Verizon, Pasdar discovered a warrantless wiretapping mechanism in their infrastructure — named the “Quantico Circuit” — leading to unrestricted access to private customer voice and data communications. Concerned about its constitutionality, Pasdar subsequently became an expert witness to congress, testifying before multiple top-tier congressional committees.

At Acreto, Pasdar plays the role of visionary and innovator for the company’s much-anticipated security platform. He believes that addressing the security challenges with Internet-of-Things and Crypto-currency will transform the way the world does business.
