About Doug
Doug McKee’s work centers around the core principle that real defense starts with understanding how an attacker thinks. As Director of Vulnerability Intelligence at Rapid7, he leads teams that turn vulnerability research into practical defense. His approach follows the “think red, act blue” mindset, using offensive insight to drive defensive precision. That same philosophy shapes his work as a SANS Author and Instructor, executive advisor for Rapid Risk Radar, and long-time advocate for hands-on, data-driven security research.
