A tenured professional who has experience in the technical trenches as well as in the boardroom with a focus in international banking/finance and healthcare sectors Cybersecurity is a science of probability, not possibility with risks exogenous to a corporation.

Risk models are necessary to accurately measure and manage technology risk within any business environment.

Information security is NOT what you prevent, but what you make possible -j
