“The only way to keep our kids safe on their devices is to prepare our kids. The only way to prepare our kids is to educate ourselves and be engaged in how they use their devices” – Dale Meredith

So who is Dale Meredith, the man behind ‘Dale Dumbs IT Down’? Most would say I’m a wannabe stand-up comedian. Those closest to me would give me the award for the author of the corniest jokes ever, and no matter how many times I tell them, I crack myself up.
If you don’t quite believe me, just ask any of my IT friends or Pluralsight students. Yes, that’s right. I’m a popular cyber-security Pluralsight author. I teach IT teams, how to keep their networks safe from outside cyber-attacks and breaches. In the IT space, I am best known for my popular ‘Certified Ethical Hacking’ and ‘Penetration Testing’ courses. For my IT friends who want to learn more, check out my Pluralsight courses here.
Don’t go feeling sorry for me because I haven’t hit it big on the comedy scene. I get plenty of time on stage as I have the opportunity to speak geek at IT conferences all around the world. If you’d like to schedule me to speak at your convention or join a lunch and learn via a web broadcast, just let me know.
While I get plenty of paid gigs to keep me extremely busy, my most favorite audiences to speak to are the small church & community gatherings. This is where I share the good stuff, the teachings that matter most, how to keep you and your family safe and smart with the technology in your lives.
