GE Oil & Gas
Industrial Control Cyber Security Technologist
Responsible for daily operations of the Infrastructure Defense and Security Operations Center (SOC) for Production Operations - network consisting of 35,000 endpoints nation wide.
• Reorganized the 24/7 operations into a much more efficient machine by prioritizing key SOC/CSIRC processes by; level of complexity, primary shift dependence, primary and desired SME’s and remediation time for future Service Level Agreements.
• Kicked off CIA project from building key trust relationships with ISO’s. Sold our 24/7 monitoring as a service to help protect Critical Infrastructure Assets (CIA). Gathered infrastructure details; identifying future placement of HIDS/NIDS and for inclusion of host info into SOC/CSIRC incident monitoring tools – zeroing in on true security concerns/alerts.
• Implemented daily customer operation calls (stand up calls); focusing in on last 24 hours of most significant events, situational awareness and tool/health concerns. This greatly increased customer involvement, trust, and understanding of environment.
• Managed staff performance through “process accountability” - a philosophy of awarding contributing individuals by giving them key process ownership. Since I had already prioritized our processes this transparent design made management much easier, removed process ambiguity by identifying who is in charge, while preventing bad handoffs or “ball drops”.
• Expanded/improved SIEM coverage/correlation rules.
• Key participant in SAIC RFP writing, particularly over SOC/CSIRC areas.

About
The biggest impression you will obtain from me is that I always bring enormous attention and focus, providing expert guidance, while keeping cool under pressure. What sets me apart from most of my peers is I have been fortunate to have lead resolutions of real security challenges while holding major responsibilities.
I describe myself as a mature and senior member in Cyber Security industry, 18 years’ experience from working with commercial and government clients. I have worn many “hats”; from as a former deputy CISO building new cyber programs, from global commercialization of new product lines, from sales engineering, from performing security assessments (NIST CSF), as a consultant, from auditor to being audited, as disaster recovery coordinator, from protecting a major corporation from a lawsuit, as a board member, from managing several compliance programs. Lastly I directed a 24/7 Dept. of Homeland Security Security Operations Center / Computer Security Incident Response Center (SOC/CSIRC) for the second largest law enforcement agency in the U.S.
Currently I am the Director of Cybersecurity Offers at Schneider Electric Energy Management, commercialization new lines of cybersecurity solutions. I server as a thought leader on all things cyber security. I frequently present to customers, giving them realistic strategies for risk management, demystifying complexity, and removing traditional Information Technology (IT) vs. Operational Technology (OT) barriers.
