I'm a well rounded security professional with over 20 years of experience in information security. I have experience in incident response, forensics, penetration testing, security architecture, and security leadership as a CISO for a financial institution.
I teach security leadership classes for the SANS institute (www.sans.org):
MGT514: Security Strategic Planning, Policy, and Leadership
MGT512: Security Leadership Essentials for Managers
I'm also a faculty grader for a masters level course for the SANS Technical Institute.
My activities in the information security community include presenting at conferences, InfraGard Board Member, and a chapter leader for the Oklahoma City OWASP Chapter.
I enjoy all aspects of building information security programs and teams. I adapt easily to the context of security requirements within organizations and understand how to align security with the business objectives.
The reason I'm applying at Zions Bancorporation is that we are planning on moving to Utah in the next four years and I'm not opposed to traveling to Salt Lake City.
