Michael G.

IT Program Manager | Business Development | Cybersecurity Architect & Engineer | 25+ Years | Federal, SLED, Commercial | Automation SME I design and build cybersecurity programs that actually work in production — not just on paper. With 25+ years across federal agencies, DoD contractors, and Fortune 500 environments, I specialize in cloud security architecture, SIEM/SOAR engineering, and Zero Trust implementation with real compliance teeth (NIST 800-53, CMMC 2.0, RMF). Recent work includes leading a SUMO Logic → Microsoft Sentinel SIEM migration across 16 data sources, conducting CMMC Level 2 assessments against NIST SP 800-171, and architecting vulnerability management programs using Tenable Nessus in regulated pharma environments. I hold an active Secret clearance and carry CISSP and PMP certifications — which means I can operate in cleared environments, manage complex engagements end-to-end, and speak fluently with both technical teams and executive stakeholders. What I bring to your project: Cloud security architecture (Azure-focused, with broad multi-cloud exposure) SIEM/SOAR build-out, migration, and optimization Federal compliance: NIST, CMMC, RMF, FedRAMP readiness Vulnerability management and remediation program design Program/project leadership for security initiatives If you need someone who can step in at the architecture level, drive execution, and deliver clear outputs — let's talk.
