Manager, Information Security

As the manager of Information Security for a publicly traded institution, I focus on safeguarding my      company from Cyber Threat, Risk, and Vulnerabilities. I work with senior leadership through lateral
      departments emphasizing the value of security while helping deliver business goals and objectives. I
      am responsible for leading core systems and services, security programs, and compliance programs.
      I manage and maintain three different firewall platforms including Palo Alto, Juniper, and
      
      CheckPoint.
