About Jerry Daugherty

I bring over a decade of expertise in engineering management and network security. As Manager, Engineering, I specialize in implementing secure software composition analysis (SCA) across product lines, integrating SCA into CI/CD pipelines, and delivering actionable vulnerability intelligence. My efforts include rebuilding the Arbor Security Champions program to cultivate cross-functional security leadership and mentoring contributors, ensuring alignment between product strategy and risk management. Previous roles at Arbor Networks include managing the Threat Systems development team and leading quality assurance for the Arbor AIF Feed, where I optimized development pipelines, improved sprint completion rates, and enforced quality assurance protocols. With a mission to empower teams and enhance operational efficiency, I bring proven collaboration skills and a strong commitment to advancing product security.
