Director, Global Cybersecurity & Industrial Security

Executive position covering both cybersecurity and industrial security (Defense contracting) for all Spirit AeroSystems sites around the world through a budget of $2 million. Directed three Senior Managers who managed a total of 22 individual contributors.

Led the following areas: Predictive monitoring, Threat and Vulnerability Management, Security Architecture, and Cyber Security Risk Assessments.

Raised the awareness and inclusiveness of security architecture to ensure the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) became the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC). This required a culture change and the change made a notable difference in thinking security at the front end of projects, thus reducing overall costs for rework.

Held monthly touchpoint calls with the account manager of the U.S.-based Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) to ensure Spirit’s vulnerability scanning infrastructure and monitoring capabilities were meeting Spirit’s cybersecurity requirements.

Developed, maintained, and evolved an Incident Response Playbook (IRP) for use in conducting drills and providing immediate and well-coordinated incident response for ten pre-defined, large-scale incident types. Had MSSP incident response experts provide incident response training for responders as well as being ready on short notice to provide surge resources in the event of large-scale or highly complex incidents.

Provided both strategic analysis and near real-time auditing, analyzing, investigating, reporting, remediation, coordinating and tracking of security-related activities for the corporate enterprise.

Analyzed data and prepared reports to document vulnerabilities from network-based charges and recommended actions to prevent, repair or mitigate these vulnerabilities. Reports were used to show security advancements through reduction of vulnerabilities over time.
