I specialize in helping organizations understand where sensitive information is being stored, who has access to it, and how the data can be protected in a way that reduces risk and enables the business. This typically is a multi-faceted data security posture management (DSPM) approach that incorporates identity and access management to ensure that the right people and processes have access to the information they need, paired with effective data protection strategies that utilize technical controls like data masking, hashing, tokenization and format-preserving encryption. That balanced approach helps organizations unlock more value from their data estate while controlling risk of inadvertent disclosure.I am a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and a Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) currently pursuing a Masters (MS) in Cybersecurity. I combine that academic training with the practical experience of helping dozens of security teams across numerous industries solve some of their most challenging cybersecurity challenges. If you are open to connecting, I’d welcome a conversation and perhaps share some ideas on cybersecurity that might help your organization whether we work together or not.
