Met with IBM's top technical fellows to analyze a new encryption system. In a series of highly technical discussions, I helped them understand potential gaps and risks related to everything from key lifecycle management to the specifics of how the system encrypted and decrypted data.
Led multiple large-scale security deployments at Delta, including the $12 Million QRadar SIEM in 90 days and the $15 Million APT & IDS Defence Initiative.
