Meet Charlene
Who am I and why should you trust me to help you master and implement Cyber Risk Quantification?
I'm a Cyber Risk Expert, Adjunct Professor, Author, Speaker and Mentor.
I have over 35 years of experience in network design and security. As a contractor, I support the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I perform agency-wide cybersecurity risk analyses and risk quantification.
I am an Adjunct Professor teaching Cybersecurity Risk Quantification at Boise State University’s Cyber Resilience and Operations Program (CORe). The BSU CORe program was recently named one of the top 10 cyber programs in the US by FORBES Magazine.
I authored the textbook "Cybersecurity Risk Quantification" for the BSU Cybersecurity Risk Quantification course and have released it under the Open Education Resource License.
I have several risk related articles published in respected industry publications.
My workshops and my BSU Course are the only training for Cyber Risk Quantification listed in the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and Studies (NICCS) catalog. The NICCS website is the premier online resource for cybersecurity training, education, and career information. NICCS connects government employees, students, educators, and industry with cybersecurity resources and training providers throughout the Nation.
I regularly speak at ISACA and ISC2 chapters across the United States, and at various related conferences.
My programs for Mastering and Implementing CRQ are one-of-a-kind offerings designed to educate Cyber Professionals so that they can advance their careers and make a true difference reducing risk for their organizations.
My Private Mentoring Program is designed for CISOs and Cyber Professionals dealing with urgent risk related issues and provides unparalleled access and support to ensure their immediate success.
I am also a mentor for the North Carolina Surry County High School Entrepreneurial program focused on young entrepreneurs.
