I offer 20+ years of increasingly complex and progressive responsibility in Systems Engineering, Administration, and Information Security. I excel at clearly communicating with executives, support teams, auditors, and clients with clear, actionable goals and takeaways. Security incidents are going to happen. Whether large or small, being prepared is key to successfully navigating an event. When things go wrong, people default to their lowest level of functioning, making established procedures and documentation paramount. Practicing responding to events is a practice I regularly lead, and it enables teams to be successful when an unfortunate event inevitably occurs. Information Security is a passion of mine, and it has been for many years. I LOVE helping people become aware of major risks and what they can do about it:* MFA on EVERYTHING* Good password hygiene* Patch your computer* Don't use public shares of data for anything sensitive.It's always great to hear about individuals that change thier habits for the better, both at work and their personal life. With the help of others in the industry (you may be included in this) we have prevented many personal and business security incidents by helping one person at a time. We really do make a difference in this crazy world!Helping people safely use technology in ways that don't "get in the way" is also something I pursue passionately. Security doesn't have to be painful, if it's done right. In an InfoSec role, it's our job to find ways to make security faster, easier, and better. I love it when we can use things like FIDO keys or SSO to make logins easier and faster for our users. It takes effort and intent, but the impact security has can be reduced. It can even help, in many cases.Some of my key career highlights are:● Liaise with the executive board and leadership team and establish enterprise-wide security initiatives, performing risk assessments and providing updates on major security developments.● I perform risk assessments, test data processing systems, and provide documentation on security vulnerabilities and breaches and the extent of the damage caused. I excel at clearly communicating the mitigation steps needed and providing technical and managerial guidance to geographically dispersed support teams. I also excel at constantly and effectively communicating with executives and auditors regarding the status of open items and strive for excellence in this practice.
