Steve Werby is an independent information security consultant and researcher. He was formerly the Chief Information Security Officer at the University of Texas at San Antonio, as well as enterprise information security officer for the Virginia Department of Corrections and Virginia Commonwealth University. Before making the shift to information security program management in 2006, he operated an information security consultancy with an international client base, served as COO for a web development firm, and held engineering roles in a Fortune 500 manufacturing company. He has an industrial and systems engineering degree, an MBA, and has earned numerous information security certifications, but is prouder of the fact that he hasn’t signed his name the same way twice since 2009.
