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.

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.
Need to grant admin access for a single app to a specific user or group?
Don't just give out root. Use Sudo to define and control admin access to all resources - and you are the admin, do the same thing for yourself. You will be much less likely to step on yourself.
Scrolling system messages.
To view Linux system log messages in real-time, open a terminal window, su to root, and type tail –f /var/log/messages. You will see the system messages scroll up the screen as they occur.
Frozen Explorer session?
If your explorer session has stopped responding, hit CTRL+SHFT+ESC to bring up taskmanager. On the processes tab, look for explorer.exe in the Image Name column and hit the End Process button. Your windows session will now seem to disappear. It can be restarted in taskmanager by going to File>New Task (Run) and typing explorer.exe.
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.
