Chris Carpinello’s Summary
Twenty-five years after typing in my first computer program from a magazine, combining 1s and 0s still holds magic for me. My passion for network operations is rooted in FidoNet community of the 1980s, where I operated several bulletin board systems (BBS). As I graduated to adminstering networked Unix workstations, information security was a natural knowledge progression.
I forge solutions to optimize security and network operations for enterprises, governments and academia in these ways:
* Maintain business system availability
* Protect intellectual property
* Limit corporate liability
* Safeguard the corporate brand
* Ensure compliance
While achieving those goals, I embrace these security fundamentals:
* Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability
* Defense-in-depth
* Least Privilege
* Simplicity
* Education
Certifications: CISSP-ISSAP
