About Scott Bollinger

I’m Scott Bollinger /@kfalconspb — a security engineer with over 30 years in IT and information security. My career spans infrastructure engineering (virtualization, storage, networking) and security operations in financial and insurance environments across the U.S. I focus on practical security outcomes: reducing risk, improving detection/response, and making security tooling and processes work in the real world.Before specializing in security, I worked extensively in systems administration, networking, virtualization and storage. That background helps me understand how environments actually operate and where security controls succeed or fail.Manage enterprise-wide deployment and optimization of the CrowdStrike Falcon endpoint platform—scheduling rollouts, aligning configurations with business requirements, validating connectivity and coverage, and refining policies and whitelists to enhance detection and minimize false positives.(Previous certifications include CISSP, CEH, VCP5, CCNA/DA, MCSE, MCITP, CIW, CNE 3/4, Citrix CCA (XenDesktop/XenServer), GIAC GCIH, and CompTIA.)
