Hayden is an Cyber Security professional and manages the Information Security Program for The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (NGC) for the past 10 years. He has been employed with The NGC for over 25 years, during which Hayden has been involved in Application Development, Database Administration, Systems Administration, Network and Security Administration.
Hayden holds Bachelor’s Degrees in Computer Science and Physics, Master’s Degree in Network Security, and holds certifications in ISACA’s Certified Information Security Management (CISM), SANS Global Security Leadership Certification (GSLC), Cloud Security Alliance’s Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) and certified COBIT 5 Implementation.
Beyond the certifications however, Hayden believes more about delivery of solutions and projects than certifications. Key projects worth mentioning is the implementation of an Information Security Management Program, lead the successful project to migrate NGC to Exchange Online (precursor to Office 365), and implemented Microsoft 365 and Azure cloud security solutions to name a few.
For the process control people in the audience, Hayden has been on NGC’s first Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) project, so he speaks that language also.
