Details
Experience:
Educating CISOs and aspiring CISOs move from isolated technology functions into the mainstream business leadership teams. In order to be considered integral to the business you must be engaged in the business - technology is a tool, and your experience and intelligence help you leverage this for business value. A CISO touches every aspect of the business - Risk Identification and Management is your contribution to overall success. We focus on 5 domains relevant to integrating the CISO core functions as they relate to business risk and operations - from Governance to Budgeting and Finance.

Senior Security Advisor
I launched my consulting group in early 2017 to deliver Cyber Security expertise, insight and support to large commercial enterprises under pressure to meet the year-end deadline for the NIST SP800-171 compliance requirement for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Failure to meet the NIST SP800-171 compliance deadline can have significant financial and contractual impacts for government contractors.
I successfully provide SME leadership and direction for NIST SP800-171 compliance in the following areas :
► Developing Policies
► Process and Procedures for Incident Response
► Audit & Accountability
► Multi-Factor Authentication Solutions
► Collaboration on Configuration Management
► Media Protection
► Existing Security Capability Review
► Gap Analysis and COTS Product Reviews for Potential Implementation
In addition, I am often retained to deliver SME support in pursuit of multi-million dollar contracts via Government Agency Security Program RFPs. Activities include proposal team review support, overall program compliance assessments to agency needs, and current tool-set evaluations with gap analysis support for a large-scale environment with a heterogeneous infrastructure meeting NIST requirements.
As a featured speaker at national and global Cyber Security conferences, I am typically invited to provide insights on pressing issues facing the Cybersecurity community. One of the hottest topics this year is How to Prepare For and Meet the NIST SP800-171 Compliance Requirements Before the 2017 Deadline.

The U.S. Government Advisory Council (USGAC) is a dedicated forum of 20 information security thought leaders who continuously discuss challenges faced by cyber security professionals. They also propose solutions on how best to evolve (ISC)2 resources, education and certification programs to help meet those challenges. The Council reviews policy and/or initiatives that improve the professionalism and cybersecurity expertise of the government workforce.
I was originally nominated by sitting Board Members to join the Board due to my expertise in securing large scale infrastructures against cyber threats and attacks. In 2012 I was elected to serve as co-chair of the Government Advisory Board.
When I left federal service in 2014 I was asked to continue as a board member based on my previous contributions and areas of expertise. Today I contribute to the organization by :
