Career History
Principal Security Architect, Science Applications International Corporation, Lanham, MD (4/2004 – present)
Security Program Lead on two consecutive five-year contracts to implement a federal agency security program for the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Transformed the security program from CMMI Level 1 to become certified at CMMI Level 3 in 2006 with plans to attempt CMMI Level 5 certification later this year. Developed the agency security architecture to establish security policies and security requirements for the agency. This agency architecture was later praised by the federal Office of Budget and Management (OMB) as the best security architecture submitted by a federal agency. It was also officially requisitioned by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for use in improving federal requirements for all agencies.
Founded agency risk boards and risk review processes. Founded agency steering committees and technical design review committees. Published annual security program plans to guide the security program each year. Published white papers, methodologies, security technical implementation guides (STIGs), and templates to standardize and regulate agency security activities. Lead teams to develop and administer the agency’s annual security awareness program and more advanced security training programs. Established the agency security portal to provide all security tools and security documentation via a single web site.
Established security assessment teams and standards to perform certification and accreditation (later migrated to assessment and authorization) activities for 41 systems and a dozen general support systems providing common security controls for the agency. Participated in business continuity and disaster recovery initiatives. Worked with engineering teams to ensure that technical designs and operational implementations met security requirements. Established and lead monitoring teams using various monitoring tools, both for intrusion detection and operations performance. Established incident response teams and procedures to respond to security incidents. Lead teams performing audit response activities to provide compliance assurance.
Principal Security Consultant, Newstaff, Melbourne, FL (1/2001 – 04/2004)
Returned to Newstaff to lead a security transformation initiative for Fleming Companies, Inc. Designed a completely new architecture to modernize the organization security, including migrating token-ring LANs to Ethernet LANs, migrating frame relay WANs to ATM, migrating Bay Networks routers to Cisco routers, and migrating IBM firewalls to Cisco firewalls. Simultaneously established a new security program to manage the new infrastructure by interviewing and hiring new security staff, establishing new security policies, and initiating security monitoring, security training, and incident response capabilities. Also performed add-on work to coordinate the security portion of a merger between Fleming and K-mart, by merging the existing K-mart security operations into the new Fleming security program.
Other projects at Newstaff included developing automated security tools, security consulting methodology, and performing independent research in security. Wrote proposals, generated sales, and acted as project manager on all security projects. Provided the expertise, training, methodology, and direction for all security consultants.
