@jacobbroadhurst

I secure complex networks, accelerate ATOs, and lead cybersecurity teams.

United States
Message

I've led cybersecurity programs for the U.S. Air Force, securing three network enclaves at F.E. Warren through NIST SP 800-53 RMF implementation, continuous monitoring, and ATO delivery. My quarterly Nessus and RMF risk assessments reduced known vulnerabilities by 40%, while a consolidated security dashboard improved task visibility and prioritization.

At Sierra Nevada Corporation, I accelerated ATO artifact collection as an ISSE and restored a slipping authorization schedule within my first month. Across network operations, physical security, SIEM logging, backups, and satellite communications, I've led teams, mentored airmen, and maintained zero security intrusions during a 36-month overseas assignment.
