Recent Projects
Providing Fortune50 customers with more secure IT environments. Instrumental for improving trust in computing, reducing deployment and operating costs, and implementing global ERP systems enabling companies to realize the full potential of a truly integrated and secure IT infrastructure.
Acted as subject matter expert (SME) council for workstation, server and wireless security for the last 6 years in various contracts. Two notable recent achievements were the reduction of deployment cost from $600 to $350 per machine in a 90,000 workstation roll-out, and the reduction of helpdesk calls by 30,000 calls/month by developing a secure locked-down desktop environment.
Other recent work has involved evaluating newer technologies for PKI strategy and deployment, producing documentation deliverables on best practices and infrastructure recommendations.

Novell Directory Services design and deployment.
Wide area network solutions for several ERP personnel and accounting systems.
Providing in-country installation resources, traveling extensively to Europe and Latin America.
We have 11 years of experience providing independent consulting services.
Our lead staff hold MCSE 2003 Security and CompTIA Security certifications.
Almost half of all companies surveyed spend less than 2% of their IT budget on security.
And of that figure, 40% spent less than 1% citing the engagement of senior management as a significant obstacle.
Patch management is the cheepest security fix available.
Having an automated patchmanagement system is straight forward to setup with almost no administrative overhead. Set it up once for your environment and it will do the work.
Windows XP and beyond include firewall technology.
If you have a gateway to the internet or are just using Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing, Windows has a great firewall, but you need to tune it to get the best from it.
Many security initiatives fail to have longevity.
Because they are not presented to senior management as a business need they lack the authority to be prioritized.
Set up a firewall. Even if you just use dial-up or DSL you are fully exposed to the internet.
This is your primary defense and protects against outside attacks by screening and blocking all traffic between your network and the Internet that is not allowed. The firewall also hides computer addresses. Firewall hardware connects between the cable/ DSL modem and your computers. Windows operating systems have great built-in firewalls.
