About Jim

My name is Jim and I work at Fox Filmed Entertainment as a Systems Security Engineer. My primary responsibilities include conducting penetration tests and security assessments on computer systems and networks worldwide. It’s my job to find and exploit system vulnerabilities to prove risk, then document and report my findings so all associated risks can be mitigated. I also oversee and monitor the Web Application Firewalls for the Fox, Fox Sports, FX, Speed Channel, American Idol and X Factor websites.

Previously I spent 8 years working as an Information Security Analyst in the medical industry. My primary focus was computer forensics, e-discovery, vulnerability assessment and mitigation.
