APRIL C WRIGHT

Information protection, security awareness, and personal privacy are my passion,
and I love to teach others how to implement simple actions that can lead to a
safer world.

Being a Hacker for the greater good represents a lifestyle, a community, and a
career for me.

I focus on “proactive security” through people and process. Through an
integrated preventative approach, my goals are to:

 

 * Educate users, executives, developers, and other key stakeholders
 * Ensure software developers, coders, engineers, and architects are an integral
   part of the Security team
 * Create and improve SDLC (software development life cycle) and other business
   efforts, leading to more secure and compliance-ready software
 * Architect and design software that is easier to monitor and operate, is more
   resilient, as well as capable of preventing, detecting, and withstanding
   attack
 * Build a safer physical and digital workplace with advanced awareness of how
   humans affect security, via social engineering attacks and/or insider threats
 * Help an organization understand software and process risk, so risks can be
   treated appropriately
 * Advocate testing that simulates attack to fix problems before a real attack
   can occur
 * Prepare an organization to pragmatically exceed GRC (governance, risk, and
   compliance) requirements
 * Ensure privacy is considered and protected for all sensitive data

collected dozens of certifications to add capital letters at the end of her
name, almost died in Dracula’s “secret staircase” while visiting Romania, and
once read in The Onion that researchers at the University of North Carolina

significant and interesting person currently inhabiting the earth”, and it was
on ‘teh internet’ so it must be true.
