Enhancing Cybersecurity in Hillsborough County to benefit residents:

I developed and introduced key cybersecurity processes, strategies, and frameworks within Hillsborough County’s cybersecurity operations.

By detailing critical workflows, key metrics, roles and responsibilities, and the tools used to detect, mitigate, and respond to cyber threats, these frameworks aim to strengthen the county’s overall security posture and safeguard its digital infrastructure. This approach has been refined throughout my career, starting with the Hillsborough Digital Defense Sequence (HDDS), a rebranding of earlier iterations. Fifteen key processes were created, including an Artificial Intelligence kill-chain, with the primary goal of benefiting our residents.

Cybersecurity is a team effort, and a strong framework ensures our readiness to tackle evolving threats while protecting our community’s digital assets.
