Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Computer Software industry

October 2001 – December 2004 (3 years 3 months) São Paulo Area, Brazil

EDS Brazil administers around 1500+ Unix Servers (including main customers), running Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and Linux. My basic responsibilities were to maintain secure all the Unix Servers, writing Shell Scripts to ease the maintenance of security and auditing.

I was responsible for deployment of baseline security procedures and maintaining them up-to-date as well as the implementation of security hardening of all UNIX servers.

One of the main projects was the validation and implementation of the product CA e-Trust Access Control in all Unix servers from GM and several customers as a requirement for new servers go to production.

May 2000 – May 2001 (1 year 1 month) São Paulo Area, Brazil

Zip.Net had around 220 Unix Servers, running Solaris and Linux, and around 200 Windows Servers, running Windows NT and 2000.

My basic responsibilities were to maintain all the Unix Servers, writing Shell Scripts to ease the maintenance, monitoring servers using Shell Scripts and “What’s Up?” programs. Most of the servers were Web Servers and Mail Servers (Critical Path’s NPlex), however there were some Solaris Servers running Oracle as well.

Another responsibility was to maintain the Radius system, used to authenticate the dial-up users. I had to administer the Storage Devices (Sun A1000, Sun D1000 and NetApp), as well, monitoring the storage capacity and managing volumes and disks. At Zip.Net, I had the chance to administer the Firewall (CheckPoint), and some switches.

In February 2000, Zip.net was sold to Portugal Telecom for US$ 365 millions and in 2001 merged with Universo Online (UOL).

Information Security Consultant
