Experience:
Currently serve as AT&T’s threat intelligence software/platform lead and program manager. In this role, I am responsible for the planning, coordination, requirements gathering, specifications development, project planning, project monitoring, and status reporting on matters involving an enterprise threat intelligence and investigations platform. This includes primary responsibility for planning threat intelligence feed ingestion, software and platform enhancements (development and implementation), operational enhancements, release scheduling and planning, supervising software development activities, and break/fix analysis and response. This role is also responsible for the creation, refinement, publication, and continuous improvement of related processes/procedures and strategic planning.
Previously I worked as a member of the security threat analysis team on a project that analyzed network and system log data related to security events. Work was performed in a collaborative manner with other analysts to identify and characterize security events, provide recommendations for remediation of those events, and define analytical methods to automate alarm analysis. Daily work utilized a variety of network-data processing platforms and tools to perform ad-hoc analytical processing on a variety of network data feeds, system processed data derivatives (metadata), automated system alerts, open source information, collaboration with other analysts, and collaboration with outside organizations. Additionally, the company's threat intelligence platform is used to extract relevant IOC’s (indicators of compromise) and identify and incorporate new threat intelligence sources into the platform. Responsible for reporting findings in written and verbal form. Results of analysis are used to inform management, notify appropriate teams, and recommended remediation and solutions for future mitigation and prevention of security incidents.
