Strengthening Security Posture and Risk Reduction:

He led technical initiatives on all detected technologies through an Enterprise Asset Hardening Program that achieved an overall estimated 40% reduction in critical vulnerabilities at Truist. Some internet-facing technologies and solutions experienced even greater security posture improvements considering the severity, scope and impact of affected assets.

Cloud Migration Risk Assessments resulted in zero security incidents during major multi-cloud migrations at both Capital One and Truist.

At Northrop Grumman, he ensured 100% STIG compliance on mission-critical DoD systems, achieving Authority to Operate (ATO), diligently assessing and implementing strictly-mandated SCAP security policies that led to an 80% reduction in configuration drift.

Developed remediation plans for high-severity CVEs, reducing exploitable risk by 35% at Northrop Grumman. As an active member and key player in dedicated risk review boards, these achievements were constantly subjected to daily scrutiny and high-visibillity, high-impact topics and action items governed by direct federal (DoD) oversight.

Significantly optimized operational efficiency and effectiveness of workflows that resulted in achieving reduced vulnerability remediation time across enterprises, from 45 days to 15 days, cutting remediation cycles from 30 to 12 days.
