Description
A full-scale system migration - whether updating obsolete systems, switching platforms, or standardizing disparate deployments - can be quite the adventure for even the most seasoned leaders. This session equips security leaders and their teams with 6 key planning tools to prepare them for this daunting quest.
Outline
Mike Lavway is a seasoned security strategist with more than 20 years of experience in enterprise risk management, security technologies, and emerging solutions. As Principal Consultant at ZBeta, he leads the strategy and execution of consulting services, guiding the development of client solutions and operational models. Mike credits his success in the industry to a diverse experience at virtually every level in the security industry, from intern to head of corporate security, supporting organizations large and small. On top of subject matter expertise in physical security and technology, Mike’s body of work also includes investigations, executive protection, loss prevention, and risk assessments. However, his expertise in program development, threat assessment, and integrated technologies has especially been honed through leadership roles at Aronson Security Group, ADT Commercial, and Everon. Notably, he has spearheaded initiatives involving technology-led security operations centers and autonomous patrol technologies. At ZBeta, Mike is instrumental in advancing the company’s knowledge base and driving innovation. Many of Mike’s leadership skills were forged during his 6+ years of service as an officer in the U.S. Army, where he learned the value of gathering diverse teams driven by a common goal to deliver results in high pressure situations.
