About Eric Sternberg

With 20+ years of experience in the cybersecurity industry, I\'ve dedicated my career to protecting enterprises from evolving digital threats. I utilize a deep understanding of risk management, threat analysis, and regulatory compliance to deploy cutting-edge cybersecurity tools and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. PROJECT LEADER: At Tribute Technology, I spearheaded a project to enhance the security systems by scanning a large image database. Leveraging Snyk, I screened all systems to identify and triage vulnerabilities, effectively eliminating incorrect threat prioritization. By establishing a comprehensive security framework, I successfully reduced critical threats across the enterprise by almost 60%, significantly bolstering the overall security posture.CYBERSECURITY SME: I drive system-wide coherence by servicing clients across diverse industries with advanced cybersecurity solutions. For UBS, I analyzed applications, operating systems, and servers to implement a unified “gold image” solution. By standardizing systems and establishing a strong baseline, I successfully decreased system vulnerabilities by 50%.PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE: I direct system migrations to upgrade organizational performance. At BNY Mellon, I led the transition from Juniper to Palo Alto firewalls, assessing configurations and system architecture. I collaborated with stakeholders to enforce policies that restricted firewall bypassing by developers. This initiative halved overall vulnerabilities and significantly diminished security breaches.KEY HIGHLIGHTS- Enabled secure data sharing and increased accessibility for Turner Construction by creating performance and functionality use cases leveraging the NIST Cybersecurity Framework- Elevated client satisfaction and increased sales for NIKSUN by designing and deploying an optimal risk exposure model- Minimized security debt by streamlining the security policy portfolio, authoring security responses, and ensuring correct encryption.
