Rob Maxwell is aNewDomain’s senior editor specializing in deep tech and a member of aNewDomain’s five-editor security team. By day, he’s senior security engineer at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Based in Maryland, Rob Maxwell was one of our security pros on teamBYTE and continues that role here at aNewDomain as a senior editor on our security team. As senior security engineer for the University of Maryland College Park, Rob does all manner of security and forensics work. He is the the e-Discovery guy, the forensics guy, and, officiallt, the Lead Incident Handler.

Rob also hires out as an occasional tech editor and consults on security and tech support issues for small and home-based businesses. Glad to have you back, Rob!

Rob is multi-OS-lingual and supports the three majors every day.  But his MBP is my daily driver. And though he has an Android phone, he says he uses his Apple iPad and iPod touch more often.
