DV@danielvaught
Senior cybersecurity leader specializing in risk management and compliance.
United StatesI am a seasoned cybersecurity and information assurance leader with extensive experience in delivering Authorization to Operate (ATO) solutions and implementing Zero Trust architectures for classified military and Department of Defense systems. My career has been marked by a proven ability to lead Risk Management Framework (RMF) initiatives for programs exceeding $100 million, including pioneering secure deployments of additive manufacturing aboard shipboard networks.
Throughout my tenure, I have successfully reduced cyber risk by over 30% across diverse classified and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) networks. My expertise lies in security strategy and governance, vulnerability assessment, and the development of technical documentation and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). I have collaborated with senior leadership to shape long-term cybersecurity strategies, ensuring compliance with over 91 federal mandates while maintaining audit-ready deployments.
With a strong foundation in engineering and higher education, I have managed teams of over 20 engineers, focusing on mentoring and delivering formal training courses. My educational background includes an MBA and a Master's in Digital Art, complemented by certifications such as CISSP and Security+. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to enhance cybersecurity measures and drive innovation in the field.
