James Bierly
Owner/Cybersecurity Consultant of Secure Point Solutions
With 13 years in the Navy operating on both surface ships and submarines as a Sonar Analyst, James has had an unusual transition from military to civilian; from physical security to selling cars, he ultimately found opportunities to learn Information Technology while working overseas. James worked with the state lottery and technology giants like Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard. He has spent the last 6 years supporting small businesses as part of a managed service provider and now running his own security company.
The Chief Information Officer and, more recently, the Chief Information Security Officer jobs have evolved from technology roles to critical executive team members. With many SMBs unable to hire a full-time CIO or CISO, it makes the Fractional or Virtual model very attractive. Therefore, the Virtual CISO role is quickly becoming a standard, and accepted across industries. With this emergence of popularity and at a critical time in cybersecurity, we are excited to present a community and news vehicle created by vCISOs for benefit of all vCISOs.
