Highlights include creating and enforcing data security policies; developing geographically dispersed interconnected Access-Control Systems (ACS) to comply with the Insider Threat program and react to emergency situations in PUSC facilities; and championing security education and training programs for CXO staff as well as cleared and security staff.
