Most of that career is within the Software Development Life Cycle - SDLC.  I've done it all.

Completely passionate about helping businesses secure their part of the connected world and empowering their people to leverage technology for growth and efficiency.

And reminding everyone their living rooms are connected to a thermostat at a bank in upstate New York...and everywhere else. That's why we need this security stuff.

Need some cybersecurity writing?  How about some modernization to your organization's core processes to include practices that work efficiently, effectively, and safely in our modern times? 

Software requirements discussions that also include security?  Shifting as left as you can in early discussions? 

Conversations with your staff about secure computer use tactics and habits to build to benefit them at home and at work?

That's what I do. 

Codistac was built on 25+ years of experiece combining the disciplines of software technology, HR, writing, and music theory education.  The work? Discovery and business improvement, emphasizing stories, humor, and simplified, repeatable logic yielding results you can use to make or improve processes, procedures, software, and culture.

Methodology:

Evaluate what you have and are.

When did you last evaluate your operations? Did you uncover any unclear processes or vague hand-offs between processes? Unstated risks? What would a security mindset - clearly stating risks and rewards - integrated among your technical and people operations provide you and your company? 

What if you’ve uncovered tensions between technical and non-technical staff who struggle to work together to achieve company goals?

These are a few of the areas where Codistac can help you improve operations, whether you’re optimizing software logic, business processes, or a company culture in the digital age.

Thank you to The ChannelPro Network for featuring Missouri Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in the article "New Cybersecurity Center of Excellence Aims to Build Stronger Workforce, Provide Key Services."  Visit the website and then look under the Cybersecurity tab.

Aaron B. noticed the article and gave us a shout-out, too, before I could even make this post. I think many people are excited about our mission, vision, and community. 

An excerpt from the piece - a quote from me (do I need quotation marks for something I said?): 

“Small governments and small businesses are right in our wheelhouse, but a lot of them don’t even think they need cybersecurity. It’s about [encouraging] them to think about cybersecurity as a part of real and everyday life.”

Our SOC has all black desks and everything facing one way.  Also, two fewer black cats.

I know you want to be a part of this revolution. In time, we'll be looking for specific virtual (and in person) speakers and volunteers. For now, we're building. Building a regional cybersecurity coalition to maximize the impact of the work we're doing to bolster cybersecurity in workforce and in practices and action.

Help us build - send me a DM.  You can be a part of some growth in that impact.

P.S. National companies and multi-national companies in our industry, I very much want to talk with you, too.

People, processes, and technology are essential components of any modern successful business. Properly assessing risk and opportunity - paramount.

When these vital components are not working together, organizations experience issues ranging from decreased efficiency and productivity to data breaches and other security issues. Without proper understanding of technology and its place in the modern organization - missed opportunities and lost time.

Cybersecurity awareness and behavior within your organization is essential for your company’s reputation and ability to protect against potential cyber risks.

Tech terms can be difficult to translate into understandable terms those not working in technology. Still, each person must understand technology's impact on their work and organization.

Translating technical information and workflows into regular language (and back again) is my superpower.

It started in December 1982 when I got a Commodore 64 for Christmas. I learned to program and built software to help me memorize geography facts.  I added features to that program to improve it. Teenage girl me lost geeky interest in high school. And then came the Internet - 1992, emails and MUDs/MUCKs. I gained some hacker-level typing speed.

While in grad school, I worked in the HR department of the University of Missouri. My boss found the IT department slow in delivering what she needed. I took staff IT classes and built database and reporting skills. 

25+ years later, I incorporate my experience and education with software technology, human resources, culture building, writing, and music theory education to help start-ups and other organizations connect their people, processes, and technologies toward a goal of whole organization health, acknowledging online risks and opportunities.

Inspire cybersecurity culture by:

Teaching secure online behavior and its impact on everyday activities. 
Educating why cybersecurity matters.
Training on how and why to improve organizational cybersecurity and its impact.
Creating customized next steps for each company - in its journey.
Utilizing risk analysis as a tool for process improvement.
Analyzing security at the input, output, and process transformation working points.

I connect people with people, technology with technology, and people with technology. And I can build your technical brand.

Strategic. Maximizer.  Activator.  Input.  Intellection
