Jibran Ilyas’s Summary

I stepped into IT by entering the world of web designing when i was 14 and since then, this field has been my passion. The late night thrills of drilling down the OS or networks makes it a very fascinating field. I got a bachelors degree in Networks Technology from DePaul University in June, 2005. I worked for Clark Consulting as a Network Engineer in my senior year at DePaul. In February, 2006, I joined AmbironTrustwave as a Security Engineer focusing on firewalls and intrusion detection solutions for clients. In July 2007, I joined the Forensics team of Trustwave (formerly AmbironTrustwave). I am also doing Masters at Northwestern University in their MSIT program, which gives IT professionals a cross-functional perspective of information technology and its place in business operations.

1. QSA - PCI Qualified Security Assessor (April 2007)
