I'm a Cyber and Information Security enthusiast and researcher, and also a Manager of Information Security Engineering at Mastercard.
Previously, I was the Cyber Security Lead at Global Shares, and before this, I was the Principal Cyber Security Engineer for the organisation. I was also a Senior Cyber Security Engineer at Johnson Controls (JCI).
Prior to this, I was a Post-Doctoral Researcher (Cyber Security) at the Mobile and Internet Systems Laboratory (MISL), Department of Computer Science, University College Cork (UCC), Ireland, as part of the CHIST-ERA DYPOSIT project. My research was directed by Dr. Simon Foley, and focused primarily on autonomic security control reconfiguration, and the problem of large, shared Cyber-Physical System infrastructures under attack.
I've served as a nominated peer-reviewer of scientific publications for the European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS).
I hold a Ph.D. in Cyber Security from the Department of Computer Science in UCC. I also hold an M.Sc. in Software and Systems for Mobile Networks, and a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Computer Science, both also awarded from University College Cork.
My current research interests include IdAM, UEBA, pen-testing automation and autonomic security control reconfiguration, dynamic policy frameworks, network and host-based access controls, mobile security, cloud security and cyber-physical - including ICS and IoT security.
I am a firm believer in the truth of mathematics and formal modeling. My Erdős number is 5 ☺
