Eric J. Rzeszut

I'm an information technology and security professional (CISSP) with two decades of experience in the industry. I'm currently the help desk manager at the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce. Previously, I was an IT manager at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a founding member of the UAB Enterprise Information Security Council. I regularly provide information security presentations and consultations to a variety of academic, nonprofit, and corporate groups.

Data security is critical to all of us -- but the threats, solutions, and overall terminology can be intimidating. I want to make virtual security as well-understood as physical security -- when you leave your house in the morning, you lock your door. Most people wouldn't even consider skipping that critical step! Data security has a few tenets that should be just as religiously followed. Let me teach you how to lock your digital doors -- you can start by reading my book!
