After decades of progressive responsibility in delivering and supporting IT services, I transitioned into Information Security in 2001. While evolving to master the needed skills and concepts in security, I was left wondering why security was positioned as its own silo. In my world, security is merely a quality of service which is baked in.
As my security career continued, I’d constantly shared my vision to influence internal stakeholders and eventually the clients to which I consulted. In my perspective, security is merely contextual awareness which clarifies risk, influences management control objectives, defines service and service levels, and selectively positions security roles and functions to inject expertise, verify direction, and compensates for conflicts of interest.
I now look to “Bake Security In” as a Senior Security Consultant in CGI’s New England business unit. With 8 SOCs across the globe, and over 1000 cyber professionals, I am not alone. CGI has had the 6th fastest growth in Cybersecurity Consulting and will always strive to be the very best in its industry. It’s all about quality of service and client satisfaction, isn’t it??
Anyone need a new partner in the kitchen??
