To anyone looking to get a Penetration test for their company, Terry is their man. I have sought out Terry twice now for 2 PenTest both times his communication during the process, his out-of-the-box thinking to sort out random issues, and the most important part Terry has gone above and beyond what my original expectations were.
Terry Cutler and Cyology Labs are top-notch you won't be disappointed with the level of service you receive.

Today I had an interesting morning. I went to clean up my junk mail, only to see an email with one of my passwords as the subject line. It mentioned that my computer was attacked with ransomware deployed and that I would have my personal information sent to all my contacts if I did not pay this ransom amount.
Having worked with Terry on a corporate ransom attack last year, I knew he was the only person I can reach out to for advice. Terry had me confirm some details on my Mac and was able to tell me that this was not a ransom but a password leak. As a matter of fact, all my passwords leaked.
Terry informed me of how this leak is really not an attack on me alone and gave me steps to ensure that I make this harder for my passwords to be accessed.
Thanks so much, Terry. You came through for me on the personal side this time.
I will definitely call on you first in the corporate world as well.

A few days ago, I received an email from someone claiming to have planted malware on my computer and threatening to publish damaging material to all of my contacts. I found Terry in a Google search and called him. Not only did he answer his own phone, but he also spent HOURS that day helping me check out whether my computer was infected (it wasn't) and installing software and other system modifications to protect it from getting infected. Terry is both absolutely EXCELLENT at what he does and one of the nicest guys you'll ever talk to. I cannot recommend his services more emphatically!

As computer security student, I often read the blog written by Terry Cutler and find it helpful in expanding my knowledge in the IT Security field. He is truly an expert in his field and his articles are very informative, most simple to understand and the best part of it is that I can relate it to my studies.
Hélène Larocque - CHEO (Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario)
Terry was a guest speaker at the Ottawa Chapter International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) presenting on "How Hacker's Pick YOU". His presentation was extremely informative and eye opening for many of us working in the administrative field. It also provided us with great information we could take home for use within our family life. We hope to hear him speak again at a possible future IAAP event!
Kim Picard - Government of Canada
Who knows what goes on in Cyberspace and how secure you and your data are? Terry Cutler does! And he imparted just a brief bit of his knowledge and lessons to the Ottawa Chapter of the International Association of Administrative Professionals in March, 2014. This was the second time that Terry was invited back to the chapter, as he is a wealth of information, and a very good presenter on such a "scary" topic! Terry easily connected with the varied age-range and computer literacy of women on the issue of hackers and how to make oneself less susceptible. We are all looking forward to having Terry back again! There appears to be so much to learn, and Terry is one who can teach us!
Sara Boisvert - Performance Management Consultants
Terry was a very engaging and informative speaker. It was clear early on that he is an expert in his field, yet he is able to present in a non-threatening way to those less familiar with his content. I truly enjoyed every minute of his presentation and look forward to following along with his resources and valuable information in the future, and hopefully see him speak again soon!
Hagai Maidenberg - NutraChamps
When it comes to digital security, Terry Cutler is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met.

Nancy Battet - Partner Liaison, Lester B. Pearson School Board
In my role at the Lester B. Pearson School Board, I work to link business and educational partners to teachers and students of the Lester B. Pearson School Board. A very important and essential program brought forward at the LBPSB by our Educational Services team was "Digital Citizenship", allowing teachers and students to better understand the importance of bringing forward the ethics of digital citizenship and the importance of understanding that our digital footprint is with us for life. As a part of our program, we created a focus group which included business partners, teachers, administrators and other educational partners to better understand "what it is we wanted our students to know about ethical digital citizenship" when they entered the workforce. Terry Cutler was a member of this focus group and provided such valuable information to all of our committee members about internet security and safety. Terry has spoken since then to many groups of students and teachers about internet safety, and has given valuable information for us to write guidelines for the importance of internet safety for our youth today. Terry is a true professional who is always willing to help by sharing his tremendous expertise in this field with our teachers and students. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to take the time to listen to the needs of the schools. Many thanks Terry!!

We had Terry visit our school and the students were so engaged, listening and asking questions. The topic was to stay safe on the internet. I highly recommend him. The presentation was reel and the children really connected with him.
Jamie Abram - Novell
Terry is one of those unique individuals that is both technical, as well as personable. He has the ability to build an immediate rapport with customers, partners, and colleagues. Through his many years in this industry, he brings an incredible amount of expertise to the table, yet has the ability to explain technical concepts in an easy to understand way. During our work together at Novell, Terry set the standard for the entire team often going above and beyond to understand and address our Customers business and technical issues.
Terry’s skills in front of customers and the press are impressive!! He is truly an engaging speaker who possesses an ability to deliver a message clearly and with passion. Although the nature of the technology business can be serious, Terry shares the gift of humour with all of those that he works with. He is one of a kind and would be a valued member of any team. I highly recommend him without reservation.
Eva Sardo - MIH International
Terry is my new go-to-person. I just recently called upon Terry after hearing so many great things about him and his work. We just moved our companies head office and were stuck in a “911 situation”. Without any prior notice, Terry came to the rescue. He was easy to talk to, efficient and knowledgeable. In this day in age, you would expect to find many companies/people like him but the truth is, there isn’t. He is one of a kind and simply the best.
Giselle Armour - Novell
I worked with Terry for several years while at Novell. Always attentive, Terry placed his customers first and was proactive in his pursuit of meeting their needs. This included identifying any areas for knowledge transfer and training needs. Along with being a technical go to person for his customers, Terry's insight and awareness of customer needs helped make numerous training sessions possible across Canada! A fantastic PSE, his customers were able to meet their objectives with his guidance and expertise.
Don Chapman - President Novell Canada Ltd.
Daniel Lavoie - Novell
Terry's passion for all aspects of IT Security is unparalleled. Through continued aggressive effort and investment, he keeps his knowledge and skills on the bleeding edge of that specialty. Some may see this level of dedication as fanaticism, and that's probably true, but the end result is that this zeal has made Terry one of Canada's foremost expert in IT Security today. Terry has become the “go to guy” for many News and Trade Organizations seeking expert commentaries on the subject of IT Security and Vulnerability.
Along the way, Terry has used his very engaging people skills to amass an impressive quantity of industry contacts, associations membership, and certifications that he can draw on in order to deliver the best possible alternatives and solutions to his customers in a timely fashion.
You will be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable, dedicated, enthusiastic, and likable IT Security professional than Terry Cutler. It is with no hesitation that I recommend Terry' services.

I am completely confident when recommending Terry to my customers and colleagues - I know he will get the job done right!
Wade Kohn - CBT Xpress/CBT Campus
I have known Terry for a couple of years but never really understood what his exact skillsets actually encompassed. After attending Brainshare and
watching him demonstrate his abilities I have a new understanding of his aggressive approach to keeping up with new threats and attacks that we face in our IT world.I would strongly reccomend him for any IT needs that you face on a daily basis as well as future IT rollouts you may be planning.

I've been working with Terry during a very very critical situation for a common customer of ours. Both my company and Terry's were involved in this situation and we had to work together to resolve the big issues.
All along those hard times where pressure was constant and prevailing, Terry could demonstrate his personal qualities as well as his high level of professional skills. He always stayed positive, proactive, searching for solutions and always kept his mind calm with good mood, to provide a first class level of service. When the solution was not coming from him, he always found the correct connection within Novell to find a way to resolve our problems.
Best recommendations were finally provided to customer to go further problems resolution and to have those problems never occur again.

Insider Secrets to INTERNET SAFETY: Advice From a Professional Hacker
In a world of digital technology, it’s easy to forget one sobering fact: our identity can be stolen from under our noses, with one click of the mouse, propelling us into nightmares in a matter of minutes, anytime, anywhere and on any one of our darling gadgets. Cybercriminals, malware, botnets and all forms of digital threats are ever more sophisticated, waiting in the shadows for that one opportunity to steal your sensitive information. Terry Cutler, a Certified Ethical Hacker, reminds us of how vulnerable our data is, through chilling real-life stories, such as that of a simple USB key left purposefully behind, in a targeted enterprise’s lavatory, where an unsuspecting (albeit good-willed) employee can just pick it up, plug it in and thus, lead the criminals right into the company’s core data, or to your home computer.
Terry Cutler is an international award-winning information security strategist for 20 years, and has advised Canada’s largest companies on how to prevent and remedy internal and external security penetration. For the public, he developed an effective online learning program arranged in modules and updated regularly to keep up with the rapidly changing digital landscape in which “wild-west” Internet bandits seeking new ways to break into our lives are stopped. Terry Cutler has coined the term Cyologist™ to describe what he does.
