Dr. Gregory Carpenter is Principal Partner at CW PENSEC and a retired U.S. Army officer with over two decades of operational experience spanning intelligence, counterintelligence, electronic warfare, deception, and security testing. He previously served in senior roles across joint and interagency environments and was recognized as NSA Operations Officer of the Year for his work in advanced operational analysis and mission execution.Dr. Carpenter’s professional focus centers on adversary modeling and the failure modes of trust, identity, and attribution under adaptive threat pressure. His work examines how emerging technologies—including cyber-physical systems, in vivo and nano-scale technologies, automation, and information operations—alter attacker behavior and invalidate long-standing defensive assumptions. He has led and advised offensive and defensive programs across cyber, information, and electronic warfare domains, with particular emphasis on how identity collapses when human operators are no longer stable or external to the systems they access.At conferences and in research settings, Dr. Carpenter translates complex adversary behavior into practical defensive insight, emphasizing how organizations must redesign identity, access control, and trust models for environments where compromise is expected rather than exceptional. He has presented at DEF CON’s Misinformation Village (2023), Adversary Village (2025), and the DEF CON Creator Stage (2024, 2025).
