ABOUT BRENT W.
Executive-Level Cyber Security & Zero Trust Strategist — Driving Enterprise Transformation Through Architecture, Controls & Governance Maturity, and Outcome-Oriented Programs.“I’ve spent the past 26 years in IT and Security — working in almost every capacity from developer and sysadmin to product owner, and enterprise cyber security architect. For the last 14+ years, my focus has been enterprise cybersecurity architecture, and over the past 6year, advancing Zero Trust and Identity Security — not just as a framework, but as an operational model to mitigate current security threats and vulnerabilities.What I’ve learned is that 60 to 70 percent of what we do in security follows repeatable patterns — and when you recognize those patterns, that’s where the opportunity for automation, visibility, and Zero Trust begins.”
