August 10, 2011 by lee kantor

On August 2nd, 2011, Atlanta Business RadioX Host Dr. Tim Morrison was joined in the studio by Ligatt Security International’s CEO and Founder, Gregory Evans.

Evans is a widely renowned cyber-security expert and author of eight books on high-tech security issues, but his now glowing reputation had an inauspicious start. In 1996 he was on the FBI’s top ten list of “wanted” computer hackers. Evans claims to have started hacking when he was in 7th grade, changing classroom grades for his friends for money. He “expanded” from there. Today Evans heads Ligatt Security International, a leader in computer security and cyber-crime investigation and appears regularly in the media as a cyber-security expert. In 2009, Evans appeared on Fox network’s “Fox & Friends,” as well as CBS news, and the world-famous Frank Ski morning radio show on Atlanta’s v103. He was also named one of Black Enterprise magazine’s Top 20 “Masters of Innovation,” and has been featured in numerous newspapers and magazines, including the LA Times, USA Today, Wells Fargo Business Journal, and JET magazine. He is the founder of National Cyber Security.

“Rather than bemoaning the frustration of not getting published, Brent Sampson studied the terrain, examined what was available for writers to get published and decided there had to be a better way. Outskirts Press is the result of that process and he continues to tweak the company’s processes to meet the needs of writers by participating in all aspects of the business. When Sampson speaks he speaks not only as a publisher but also as an author who knows the challenges and frustrations and hope and dreams of getting published,” says Morrison.
