Rick Mayberry, Microsoft

My passion is primarily around securing large networks and, for the majority of my career, I’ve worked for Internet Service Providers (ISP). My secondary interests are network engineering and network technology, cloud and virtualization, measuring security program effectiveness and enabling product teams to build secure products through repeatable processes, patterns and shared services (security architecture). I am not your typical counter-culture, paranoid, policy or compliance security professional. I believe security is just another delivery organization within larger IT/Engineering. I believe a security organization should deliver horizontal shared services that can be leveraged by other IT initiatives and accelerate product or service delivery. I also am a strong believer that security is a means to increased availability – especially within a service provider environment.
