ON Semiconductor is a Fortune 500 semiconductor supplier company based in Phoenix, AZ with operations in 15 countries. Its 31,000 employees produce an annual revenue of over $8 billion. Founded in 1999, ON Semiconductor was originally a spinoff of Motorola’s Semiconductor Components Group. It has acquired over 20 other semiconductor manufacturers and manages them all as subsidiaries under a single security umbrella. Its unique composition makes it a very complex technology environment with a vast threat landscape.
• Served as the Director of Global Security Operations during which time I was responsible for:
• Overseeing all aspects of day-to-day security monitoring and response.
• Serving as incident commander security events anywhere around the globe.
• Coordinating security monitoring and active defense infrastructure across all subsidiaries.
• Prioritizing and reporting cyber risk to executive management and recommending mitigation strategies.
-
Designed a co-location environment to continually stream Reuters stock data from exchanges to customer-facing brokers as quickly as possible for timely trades. The design included the use of multi-cast streaming technology and QoS network prioritization rules.
-
Designed and built core data center routing systems capable of withstanding multiple failures across geographically diverse locations. Designs incorporated many different technology concepts including:
o Complex spanning-tree and VTP configurations
o Multiple routing protocols (EIGRP, BGP, OSPF) depending on location or function.
o Multiple load-balancing techniques and configurations.
Load Balancer modules built into hardware.
• Weighted round-Robin.
• Least connection.
• Resource based (adaptive).
DNS load balancing with sophisticated health checks
• Flag file values.
• Specific query-return URLs.
-
Designed and built sophisticated web proxy environment for local, remote, and guest users.
o Integrated 802.1x authentication results to determine path based on VLAN placement.
o Implemented GRC tunnels for environments that needed additional internal security on web connections.
o Synchronization of corporate rules to external proxy for remote users.
o Configuration of remote user proxy determination based on geographic location.
-
Designed and built multi-tenant VPN head-end infrastructure used for B2B connections, remote employees, temporary contract workers, and remote support. Environment included:
o Support for multiple remote encryption methods.
o Support for multiple remote routing protocols.
o Isolation of traffic between environments.
-
RSA Security Analytics (Netwitness) SIEM custom configuration.
o Configuration of custom log parsers in log decoder hardware for unique customer environments.
o Complex rule creation via the Event Stream Analysis module for SIEM alerts.
o Configuration of Malware Analytics module including integration into customer sandbox environments.
-
RSA ECAT endpoint threat detection customer setup.
o Custom threat intelligence feed configuration.
o External component setup per customer requirements (SYSLOG, SMTP, SA integration, etc.).
-
• Setup forward-deployed air defense communications systems for Marine Air Support Squadrons worldwide.
• Troubleshot and repaired UHF radio communications issues in high-pressure, life-threatening situations.
• Troubleshot and repaired issues with cryptographic cyphers and frequency hopping SINCGARS (Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio Systems) technology.
