Timothy (TJ) Johnson joined Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) in the Summer of 2024 as a SOC Platform Engineer. In this role, he maintains the SOC infrastructure — from data ingestion to parsing and enrichment. Previously, Timothy was a SecDevOps engineer for Recon InfoSec. He chose BHIS because of the impact they have on the infosec community and their mission alignment with his own personal goals for improving security posture for organizations and spreading knowledge throughout the industry. He thinks the best part is everyone’s joy for their job and the open communication even in a remote-work position. Outside of work, Timothy loves spending time roughhousing and playing video games with his young boys, listening to music and collecting vinyl records, and weight lifting.
