  • Noted cybersecurity expert, keeping technical skills current and participating in multiple forums
  • Strong understanding of the current threat landscape and resiliency concerns, national and international laws, regulations, policies, and ethics related to cybersecurity or resiliency
  • Demonstrated expertise in security assessment methodologies, threat intelligence utilization, control evaluation techniques, or resiliency testing
