Background

About Mike Bukowski

CISSP certified since 2006, I am a compliance expert with a strong background in technical solutions to tough cyber security problems. My unique approach to obtaining an authorization includes bringing a very important process component in as early as possible–the customer. I developed a process of pre-evaluating documentation and methodologies at the Authorizing Official level before the customer submits the package for the initial A&A process steps. This approach has saved several customers thousands of dollars. A veteran with 24 years of service, my formal Navy training includes Information Systems Security Manager, Network Security Vulnerability Technician, and Advanced Network Analyst. As a subscriber to life-long learning, I have been employed by my alma mater to teach higher education courses. I strive to apply my learning to my customers' needs. Achievements: I graduated with honors from University of Maryland University College earning an MS in Cybersecurity Technology. I also hold an MS in Information Assurance and Security and a BS in Information Technology from Capella University. I was selected as Legionnaire of the Year at American Legion Tidewater Post 327 in 2009. I made the Capella University President's List (16 consecutive quarters). Specialties: CISSP, CEH, leadership development, security awareness training, DIACAP, RMF, NIST, FISMA, A&A, accreditation, vulnerability assessment, remediation, security audits, intrusion detection, security architecture, incident response, cybersecurity engineering, network security, disaster recovery.
