Greg Munro’s Summary

Over 25 years experience of working in 24x7 Corporate and Telco environments ranging from WAN Administration through to securing 2.5 and ETSI 3G communications systems and large corporate security environments.

I was once a Novell Instructor (CNI), but decided that I'd rather be doing, than teaching.

I take pride in deliving elegant solutions rather than fixing symptoms of the business. Anyone can build a complicated system, it takes a real art to build a simple solution.

I invest in people and property and have a domestic and commercial property portfolio.

Ultimately, I strive to add value to those around me; to make a difference.

Greg Munro’s Specialties:

Specialist in Security of IP Networks and Mobile communications with particular emphasis on large organisations such as Telcos, Service providers and Utility companies. Long-term specialist in Check Point security products.
