Today, he is the CEO of ZanttZ, a company that is developing stealth cyber security technology solutions. Eric and his company are at the forefront of the latest developments in the world of global espionage, and the merging of man and machine. He attests that the Hollywood-created image of the daring secret agent sneaking into a foreign government's laser protected server room to steal top secret information couldn't be further from modern reality. In fact, the "James Bond" of the 21st century doesn't just use a computer, he is the computer.

What is sad is that the same technology that does this, could be used to improve life for everyone on the planet. But since we are full of stupidity and greed this is what we have. I am about to hit 50 years old, I saw the internet growing, I saw amazing innovations and was hopefully for the future, and this is what my kids kids, will have.
