Mike Davis is currently a Business Risk Management and Cyber Security Consultant / Enthusiast providing those strategic support functions to companies / startups / organizations, as well as leading numerous security groups / initiatives on key security mitigations, cyber enhanced business value, risk / cyber insurance, etc. Mike has over 25 years’ experience in several IT/IA/Cyber technical and operational leadership positions in many diverse government and commercial programs / venues throughout the product / service lifecycle. He is also a retired Naval officer and federal civilian. Mike’s main expertise is in information assurance and cyber security, enterprise program management, systems analysis and testing, organizational risk management, etc. He has operated in the capacity of most business stakeholders (developer, installer / implementer, sustainment / operations, V&V / T&E, and certification / audit) and successfully delivered numerous capabilities within military, government, civilian, and contractor environments. Mike’s varied background honed the ability to quickly assess risks and capabilities across multiple domains and large portfolios in parallel, providing targeted insight and decision support to leadership and the product teams. His expertise in the art of "complex systems and cyber security integration” enables him to quantify and simplify what matters most to the value proposition. In the local San Diego community he serves on several professional groups: ISC2 (as Pres), IEEE Cyber Security SIG (as Chair), SOeC (steering group), and participates in others: Infragard, ISSA, CyberTECH, INCOSE, AFCEA, NDIA, etc… His passion is effective cyber security and enabling risk management, where he has long championed the “data centric security” approach / methodology, which specifically maps very well to the “Privacy by Design (PbD)” protection requirements. (He also runs his own cyber web site @ www.sciap.org/ ). Electrical Engineer / MSEE, MA Management, with certifications in CISSP, CISO and Systems Engineering, and senior qualifications in Program Management, Risk Management and Cyber Security.

Not making any headway trying to move your cyber security efforts forward. User and clients burnt out on the security FUD approach? Maybe a new way of promoting better security, through a “privacy message” that resonates with users better, is a more effective approach. Where privacy tends to be an emotional issue and is mandated by laws, with fines, etc. – thus privacy can “sell cyber” better than the usual security scare tactics. Chances are if you don’t have a chief privacy officer or data protection officer, your company is lacking in protecting critical data, let alone all the laws and statutory regulations dealing with privacy (e.g., be they PII, HIPAA, CPI, audit / compliance, etc.). In addition, the privacy definitions and policy are themselves are quite varied, complex and change depending on where your data resides – city, state, country (for example, the EU’s data protection directorate is much stricter than weak USA laws). So how does one start to protect the both the organizational and individual’s critical data and the related privacy aspects with all the many key variables themselves in flux – and likely take many more years to sort out – if ever globally? Implement a cyber model that enables the Privacy by Design (PbD) initiative, building in protections using a data centric security approach that is relatively agnostic to the digital environment. Thus a cyber enabled PbD will inherently address the key data and privacy protection aspects from the start, making the actual IT / data space relatively agnostic to the privacy definitions and requirements churn mentioned earlier.

The message of cyber security has been echoed so often and so loudly that only the most naive organizations are unaware of cyber risks. With so many commercial and technological resources available to monitor, secure, and audit an IT infrastructure, how is it that cyber attacks are still such a prolific problem? The trend we’ve seen while investigating cyber crime is not a technological gap, but cultural one. The battle for cyber security is seldom fought in the server room; it is won or lost by the security mindset and attitude of the organization and its leaders.

Like so many start ups, it all started with an invoice, a rather large invoice. Thinking the cost of resolving a data format change was too high, our founders decided there must be a better way to deal with the situation, one that didn’t require writing such a large check to Microsoft. With investment from local governments and a small group of investors, the seeds of Waterford Technologies were planted in 1999.

Our simple vision started with the idea that there is valuable business information stored in a company’s email, not just in the email content, but in the context of ways email moves through an organization. Information about who is talking to who, what are they talking about, what data is being moved into and out of a company, information that defines how and why a company and its employees use email. With the idea that email context has value, Waterford Technologies and our MailMeter Insight product was founded in 2000 in Waterford, Ireland.

Over time, our interactions with customers lead us to believe that in addition to understanding the context of email, a differentiator of our archiving solutions to this day, that joining archiving to our core reporting capability was a strong combination. Today, Waterford Technologies is one of the world’s leading email archiving and file management companies servicing an extensive global client base from our offices in the US, Ireland, the UK and the Middle East.

We are proud of our reputation as a global leader in email and file management solutions, and our ability to provide hands-on support to our customers.
