CiscoDirector, Operational Security - Americas SPVSS
Feb. 2005 - Jan. 2017Costa Mesa, California, United StatesNDS, Inc with a global headquarters in Jerusalem and a regional office in California was acquired by Cisco Systems in 2012. I joined NDS as the director of Operational Security (OpSec) for Latin America and was promoted to Cisco Systems, Director for the Americas. I managed OpSec Americas, a division in charge of securing sensitive proprietary information, Intellectual Property Rights and, satellite encryption technology. OpSec proactively identified global technological threats in an actor-centric approach. Following complex field developments and highly technical investigations, it has resulted in the protection of brand, customers, business, and critical infrastructure by anticipating the neutralization of potential issues by supporting law enforcement authorities at the source of the threat. It was possible by coordinating a team of highly-skilled engineers and field investigators selected from various elite government agencies to proactively investigate, prevent, neutralize, and identify potential threats.
