Currently, as the Senior Manager, Cyber Defense and Security Operations at A+E Networks, I optimized the entire security incident life cycle utilizing Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR (Security Orchestration Automation Response). Previously, at SCA, I improved event detection by changing security program from reactive to proactive. ➣ Earlier at SCA, I co-authored Sony’s Information Security Contract Rider with Sony Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Legal Counsel. Furthermore, I am credited with reviving the dormant Information Security & GRC program from ground up, while modernizing security operations center. Here, I minimized risk exposure and led Red Team performing vulnerability assessment and performance testing for Sony-owned websites and mobile applications. ➣ At WPP (NY), I strengthened cyber crisis & incident response across NA sites, leading IT staff’s recovery activities after a global cyberattack. Furthermore, I back-tracked and mainstreamed impaired 5K end-user devices and 12K servers. As a Global Incident Commander, I minimized business disruption down to 4 hours in each incident. ➣ Contributing to technology security awareness, I orchestrated trainings to ensure that executives and contractors understood response requirements for suspicious cyber activity. I also chaired board discussions on the Information Security Management System program as to how cyber resilience was being enhanced.
