Duncan is currently the sole proprietor of a boutique security/software consulting firm where he enjoys semi-retirement consulting part-time (~25%) and filling the rest of his time by doing volunteer activities in the open-source, cybersecurity, and secure-software-developmentprocess communities. Previously, Duncan worked for AT&T for 35 years where he worked in hardware development, software development, digital signal processing, voice packetization, systems architecture, and cybersecurity. When he retired in 2013, his title was Distinguished Member of Technical Staff and his role was AT&T's Chief Security Architect.

He holds Bachelor and Master degrees in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been awarded 6 patents, has published numerous papers, and has CISSP/CSSLP/CCSK certifications. 
 
Duncan has been involved in cybersecurity since the first Gulf War in 1990 where he assisted the US Air Force Information Warfare Center in cyberattacks preparing the battlefield as part of kicking off Operation Dessert Storm - which opened his eyes to how behind far the blue team was; and resulted in the rest of his career developing protections for USG and AT&T networks.
