As a member of the Oregon Research & Teaching Security Operations Center (ORTSOC) Practicing Faculty, this faculty member delivers, develops and implements industry-relevant experientially-based education initiatives in cybersecurity.

Outreach and delivery of assessment services to ORTSOC clients, which includes underserved organizations across the region, and involvement of other cybersecurity practitioners and relevant regional technology industry leaders are therefore of utmost concern in the conduct of this job.
