HD Moore is a pioneer of the cybersecurity industry who has dedicated his career to vulnerability research, network discovery, and software development since the 1990s. He is most recognized for creating Metasploit and is a passionate advocate for open-source software and vulnerability disclosure.
HD serves as the CEO and founder of runZero, which provides a single source of truth for exposure management across your total attack surface. Delivering in-depth visibility into every asset and exposure, runZero helps you mitigate risks faster, meet compliance requirements, and ensure you continuously discover critical insights that others miss — including unknown and unmanageable devices and elusive exposures that evade traditional tools.
Prior to founding runZero, HD held leadership positions at Atredis Partners, Rapid7, and BreakingPoint. HD has also been a frequent speaker at industry events such as Black Hat and DEF CON. HD’s professional journey began with exploring telephone networks, developing exploits for the Department of Defense, and hacking into financial institution networks.
