Anthony T. Velte

Anthony Velte has spent over thirty years helping organizations make sense of complex technology—and actually put it to work. He's advised teams at companies including Target, 3M, U.S. Bank, and UnitedHealthcare, where the job was never about "cool tech," but practical outcomes: better decisions, safer systems, and smoother change.

Anthony has written more than a dozen books on cybersecurity, networking, and cloud computing for publishers including McGraw-Hill, Cisco Press, and Wiley. His work has been used in university programs and cited in scholarly research—because he writes to help people actually do things, not just understand them.

Across roles in solutions engineering, consulting, and technical leadership, Anthony has delivered everything from large infrastructure initiatives to security programs in healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. His CISSP and CISA certifications during those enterprise years shaped the security-first thinking he brings to every technology decision. A former U.S. Army Surveyor / Forward Observer, he approaches problems with calm, methodical discipline—especially when the stakes are high.

Anthony lives in Minnesota and still believes the best technology writing treats readers like capable adults who just need clear, honest guidance to succeed.
