About Matthew H.

Leading cybersecurity strategy for one of the nation\'s largest automotive retail organizations.As Director of Information Security at Hendrick Automotive Group, I protect 100+ domestic locations and our teammates while navigating complex compliance requirements. I focus on translating enterprise and multi-tenant security initiatives into business outcomes that executives can understand and support.My approach is straightforward: build security programs that protect the organization while enabling business growth. Whether it\'s driving adoption of adaptive authentication across a distributed workforce, developing comprehensive cybersecurity policies, or evaluating emerging security technologies, I work to ensure our security posture keeps pace with an evolving threat landscape.Beyond my day-to-day role, I\'m actively involved in the Charlotte cybersecurity community. I serve in a leadership capacity with the ISC2 Charlotte Metro Chapter, helping organize events that bring together hundreds of local security professionals. I believe a strong security community makes all of us better at what we do.I\'m always open to connecting with fellow security professionals, sharing insights about the industry, or mentoring those looking to break into or advance in cybersecurity. I\'m happy to review resumes, discuss career strategies, or provide perspective on the market. I\'m not recruiting or selling anything, just interested in helping our community succeed. Let\'s connect and share ideas on building more resilient security programs.
