Covanta

Ralph Heres, Chief Information Security Officer

Experiences in personal and professional life has given me the capability to establish information security programs that scale and mature at a fiscally responsible pace. There is no fun and challenge in Information Security when you have a large budget and all the tools. Varsity information security professionals know how to be resourceful and build effective information security program by aligning capabilities in areas that cut off threats from reaching valuable information and information assets. This is done by acquiring top talent, knowing when to use open-source vs pay for software; building an engaged security aware company culture and having no tolerance for unnecessary processes and procedures that stifle innovation, execution, and demoralize high performing teams.
