Joseph Lillo rejoined Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) in 2025 as Head of Engineering, after previously working with BHIS from 2015 to 2019, where he contributed to the development of RITA and the Active Countermeasures product line, and spent two years conducting external, internal, and web application pentests. His current role focuses on helping the software development team succeed by bridging technical challenges with business goals and fostering a culture of learning and great work. He chose BHIS—and returned—because of the people and culture, and he loves being part of a team committed to making a positive impact through accessible training and conferences. His background spans software development in assistive technologies, precision agriculture, and the cycling industry, with experience building everything from embedded systems and robotics to mobile apps and web platforms. Outside of work, he enjoys rock climbing, skiing, and travel.
