As a US Government employee working Cyber Security matters, I provide leadership and education to the public about computer security issues in several ways.

As a coordinator for a government outreach group, I frequently offer suggestions to members for improving network security and review emerging threats and trends. Being part of the SANS community keeps me current with threats and trends.

I have the opportunity to speak with various business and community groups about Internet threats such as identity theft, protecting children online, and network security. The ability to present a technical subject to a variety of audiences can sometimes be a challenge. I have enjoyed the dynamic style and personalities of SANS instructors such as Mike Poor, Rob Lee, and especially Ed Skoudis. As a SANS Masters Degree candidate, I will continue to benefit from the presentations of SANS instructors, whether from the technical content or the meta-content of their presentations.

I frequently visit companies to assist with network security and site assessments. Although I already possess a high degree of network security competence and experience, some of which can be attributed to past SANS training, I will benefit from the future training anticipated as part of the SANS Masters Degree. The companies which I visit will have a derivative benefit of the SANS training which I receive.

I hope to continue to associate with the people who attend and teach the SANS classes. I believe these are people of the highest caliber, with whom I have much in common and need to network with. I hope to promote further levels of trust and cooperation between public and private sector information security professionals such as those who participate in SANS trainings.
