Coming from a passion of building and fixing things, we can build team culture that can move mountains through an understanding of how technology can serve the buisness from both an operational and security perspective.
When we talk about security, we talk about risk and assessment. We will work to define and assess risks to the buisness and take the approprate safeguards to protect against harm. I bring experience and experise in measuring risk, validating risk, and testing controls to decrease risk.
Understanding what safeguards are required for the buisness, communicate those effectively to executives, and apply them is key to building a security program.
