If you want to protect your valuable information and reputation from hackers you need an expert opinion on information security architecture, procedures, and technology. Information security is a complicated multidisciplinary subject that cannot be implemented by your technology team, operations staff, or even internal audit. With over 20 years of experience in the field, I have deep expertise in almost all aspects of enterprise security. My particular interest lies in protecting applications and managing enterprise monitoring systems like SIEMs. I have a masters in a data analysis discipline and most of my experience was accumulated in the United States. I served clients of all sizes operating in a variety of industries. I've always been able to maintain my expertise through constant learning. In addition to all current security laws and practices I keep a personal arsenal of approaches and tool choices. That helped me implement complete security solutions at many businesses like yours. You need to protect your money with an effective and efficient security. I am the expert. Contact me today!
