Intuit
Automated Identity Governance
Executive Sponsor: Bill Bonney, Senior Manager of Access Management
Project Team: Brian Nath, Karen Cangialosi, Leon Grigsby, Ivan Pysarevskyy, Jim Duke, Chris Ellis, Duane Green

Intuit is subject to a multitude of regulatory and security requirements relating to the privacy and security of the sensitive financial data it processes, and as a public company, Intuit must also demonstrate compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley. Addressing those compliance and security requirements is exponentially complicated each year when Intuit’s employee ranks grow by almost 50 percent during tax season as it increases call center and other seasonal support staffing. To meet those challenges, Intuit implemented an identity governance program to proactively manage risks associated with user access controls while automating the process of supporting and managing the influx of access changes during the seasonal spike in employees.


Robert Half International
Global Data Leakage Prevention
Executive Sponsor: Eddie Borrero, CISO (Director of Information Security)
Project Team: Andre Lewis, KC Huang, Gerald Magtibay, Charles Young, John Krebs

The objective of this project was to implement a solution and process that would prevent the loss of proprietary information such as candidate and client data, through the systematic monitoring and control of data traffic patterns. At the same time we wanted to change our culture by educating them on our Acceptable Use Policies when it came to our IP. Monitoring was achieved through the implementation of Symantec’s Data Loss Prevention application. This project encompassed the licensing of certain monitoring and control modules, the purchase and installation of related servers and other hardware, and the development of internal security policies to respond to alerts triggered by abnormal traffic patterns involving sensitive data across the globe.

VCR (Virtual Clean Room) San Diego
Executive Sponsor: Joshua Davis, Director, Information Security and Risk Management
Project Team: Bruce Rosendahl, Kevin Larson, Kevin Dalfonzo, Zhen Chen, William Wu, Keith Ritlop, Matt Swanson, Matt Martin, Shahid Shafi, Prabakar Thiyagarajah, Anabel Avelino, Sean Callahan, Zeeshan Sabir, John Goebel, Jeff Overbey

The Virtual Clean Room is a network enclave designed to protect a high performance build environment while meeting stakeholder requirements of minimal build ecosystem system performance impact or business process change. The project team’s solution achieved a balance between operations and security needs by working with stake holders to obtain a clear understanding of the environment, then engineering a solution using principles of "Defense in Depth". The Virtual Clean Room increases security by creating a secure network perimeter, implementing standards and improving monitoring without impacting the build environment systems or its users.
