Sec

(Security)

My education and interests have always involved aspects of security. I’ve been involved in digital forensics, intrusion detection and prevention, network access control, vulnerability assessment, and configuration auditing and standardization. There are thousands of security tools that change near daily, but when it comes down to it, information assurance is the process of risk management.

My approach is to ask what the availability, integrity, and confidentiality properties of a system are, measuring the risk, and creating processes to address those needs. Not simply “You need to install a brand X firewall”. Because of that approach and the wide set of systems I’ve seen, I’m familar with many of the security tools around, but primarily as a side effect of the process.
