Biography
Oberheide grew up in Troy, Michigan and began fixing people's computers when he was only in middle school.[2] While attending high school, Oberheide founded a web hosting business with his friends, and would scrape the internet for email addresses in order to find potential clients. He would also hack networks as a challenge to see if they were secured. At the age of 17, he hacked into a honeypot set up by Dug Song, a security expert and future Duo Security co-founder who set up the honeypot to lure talented hackers.[1]
Oberheide attended the University of Michigan where he earned a PhD in CSE. During his studies, he worked with Farnam Jahanian at the University[3] where he discovered multiple flaws in Android devices.[4] He is also credited with proposing the first Cloud-based antivirus design in 2008.[5] In 2010, Oberheide (along with Song) founded Duo Security, a security firm that was purchased by Cisco in 2018 for $2.3 billion.[6] Oberheide served as the company's CTO.[7] During his career, he has obtained more than 70 patents related to cybersecurity.[8][9]
