Steve is an independent information security consultant and researcher. He was formerly the Chief Information Security Officer at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), as well as enterprise information security officer for the Virginia Department of Corrections and Virginia Commonwealth University. Before making the shift to information security program management, he operated an information security consultancy with an international client base largely consisting of ISPs, web hosting firms and ecommerce businesses. He has an engineering degree, an MBA and numerous certs, but is prouder of the fact he hasn’t signed his name the same way twice since 2009.
