From OWASP
I've been doing information security and related work my entire professional career, for large organizations in the defense, financial and manufacturing industries including the National Security Agency, JPMorgan Chase and Rockwell Automation. I currently perform risk, threat, control and vulnerability assessments and technical compliance and general computer control audits on a wide variety of applications, systems, infrastructures, designs and processes. I specialize in security architecture and IT audit, control & governance.
I've been involved with OWASP since about 2002, before this fine wiki existed. I can be reached at matthew dot chalmers at owasp dot org.
