In over two decades of my IT career, I’ve often had to use my creativity to meet business goals. While it would be easy to invent solutions with an unlimited budget and time, that’s rarely the case in real life – and perhaps that’s a good thing!
When designing cybersecurity architecture with limited resources, I rely on my imagination to craft cost-effective solutions that reduce risk to an acceptable level. I truly enjoy this challenge!
