Joining as Numberline’s Chief Technology Officer
#thevansguy is Joining Numberline Security as CTO
I’m incredibly excited to officially share that I’ve joined Numberline Security as Chief Technology Officer—and even more honored to step in as a co-founder alongside Jason.
Working full-time with Jason has been a goal of mine for a long time. After co-authoring “Zero Trust Security: An Enterprise Guide”, it was clear that we share more than a book—we share a deep passion for helping enterprises succeed in defining and operationalizing Zero Trust programs. Now we’re bringing that shared mission to life in a bigger way.
With 24+ years in identity, I’ve witnessed the transformation of identity from a niche IT function to a core component of enterprise security. Zero Trust is now the North Star for security—and continues to be the focus for Numberline.
I’m looking forward to continuing to support both our current and future clients through our Zero Trust Blueprint—helping them define strategy, build out implementation plans, and operationalize Zero Trust across the enterprise.
One of my first initiatives is to elaborate on NextGen Identity and most importantly why it is crucial to Zero Trust and is a part of our ZTMM+ Framework and Zero Trust Blueprint.
This model and its companion services will help organizations:
- Assess current identity capabilities and maturity
- Define clear roadmaps for progressive identity enhancements
- Implement scalable identity controls with continuous monitoring
- Evolve into NextGen Identity programs with passwordless and risk-based authentication
To kick things off, we’re releasing an identity-focused Identity Quickstart offering. It’s designed to accelerate your adoption of Zero Trust and fast-track your path to a mature identity pillar.
Zero Trust delivers measurable business value, elevates user experience, and paves the way for a more secure environment. If you’re ready to make Zero Trust real, protect your critical assets, and unlock the future of identity, let’s connect.
It’s going to be Legendary!
