It all started in the year 2000 when…
Matt Johnston, Founder and Principle Consultant of Practive Security, joined US Defense Contractor, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). He helped grow and mature an unstructured security services organization into a Gartner recognized world-class MSSP.
Through this experience, he had the opportunity to engage many different security organizations across numerous sectors and industries, building and delivering security solutions across multiple InfoSec disciplines. Matt served SAIC for 13 years, holding roles including Security Analyst, Security Engineer, Security Architect, Solutions Developer, Sales Engineer, SIEM Engineer, and SOC Consultant.
Through this tenure, Matt saw what worked, and what didn’t work and created a repeatable model for building and maturing security programs. He took the opportunity to apply this knowledge to other organizations where he successfully helped them transition security programs from undefined, ad-hoc, and reactive states, to well-defined and high performing services organizations.
In total, Matt has practiced supporting organizations in the Energy, High-Tech, Financial Services, Defense Industry, and US Government sectors.
Practive Security is the next step in this journey.
