About ASA

A Tradition of Success

ASA's modest roots began in 1985 with a professor and 12 students in a small Brooklyn classroom. Known then as 'Advanced Software Analysis', the institute focused on computer programming, as New York had a dire shortage of qualified mainframe programmers at that time.

Since then, the college has grown to more than 3000 students, 20 programs of study, and 2 large, centrally-located campuses in midtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn. Today, in addition to computers, our programs focus on the rapidly-growing industries of healthcare, business and criminal justice.

Over the years, as technology revolutionized how every major industry operates, ASA created and updated programs of study to meet new market needs.

In 1999, ASA received authorization from the New York State Board of Regents to confer degrees in accounting, computer programming and information technology and medical assisting.

The IT Security Attaché

TITSSN

(Information Technology and Services industry)

August 2003 — Present (6 years 4 months)

Over the past 12 yrs I have been an advocate, liaison, community leader, professional (IT and non IT), technology advisor and voice for the promotion of more IT Security education and awareness across all levels of our infrastructure (people, processes and technology). It has been my belief that IT Security is not an industry problem but a people one as the impacts, issues and effects trickles down through very layer of our infrastructure and hits the core, the people and their lives. It is for this reason that I have been in the pursuit of fostering more educational and awareness programs and initiatives towards this effort which has awarded me the role of the IT Security Attaché.

In this role my goal is to create new, enhanced, feature rich and motivational education and awareness programs/initiatives for all levels of our infrastructure so that we can be a more connected and secure minded global network as technology becomes a more integral part of our lives.

January 2009 — May 2009 (5 months)

The Ready Rockaway Disaster/Emergency Preparedness organization was formed to focus on the planning and development of an emergency response system for the Rockaway’s NY in the event of a disaster (natural or unnatural). The organization will create the needed training and development and disaster planning needed in the Far Rockaway community in an effort to scale out the needed sense of awareness to the possibility of a disaster and its effects.

As with any such initiative, the support and input of the community is critical to its success and so we call on our community to join us as we build on this.

We have made an extra effort to follow the growing communication trends of technology today and so we have a good presence on the social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, MySpace and others to come.

My role is to use my technology background and expertise to create a converged network aggregating the needed education, awareness, alerting, monitoring and management of the technology and web infrastructure needed to make this effective. I will create the infrastructure to host this virtually and technologically while also training the team and community members on the technology behind the operations and how they will help to make this effort more user friendly and successful. I will be a liaison for the organization to address the strategic partnering and affiliations with outside technology organizations and companies in order for us to have the needed resources available to us.
