Early years

In May 2000, Stickley discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Gauntlet Firewall manufactured by Network Associates (Known today as McAfee).[7] This vulnerability allowed an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code which resulted in complete compromise of the firewall. Before this discovery, application firewalls had been considered by many security experts to be the most secure solution for protecting networks on the Internet and Network Associates had claimed Gauntlet to be the "Worlds most secure firewall".[8] In September 2001, Stickley discovered an additional buffer overflow vulnerability in the same Gauntlet product.[9]

Television

Stickley has appeared on as an expert on several networks, including CNN,[10] Fox News Channel,[11] NBC,[12] and CNBC.[13][14]

Since 2015, Stickley has appeared as the "Cyber Security Expert" for LifeLock Inc. (NYSE:LOCK) in their televised and online infomercials.[15]
