Interview with a Security/Identity Management engineer (and Cisco Subnet reader)

Cisco Subnet — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:53:35 -0400

One of the best parts of this job is chit-chatting with readers. Today, we bring you a little insight into the job of security/identity management engineer from a reader that performs this role for one of the nation's major "transportation" companies. We promised not to reveal the company, but can say it is in a highly regulated area of transportation due to the cargo it carries. The reader, Edgar Vargas, happens to be the June winner of Cisco Subnet's free training giveaway from Skyline ATS -- worth up to $3,495! (By the way, you too can be a winner if you enter ... or you just might want to enter any of the other giveaways from Cisco Subnet and Microsoft Subnet.)

Q: So, Edgar, tell us, what's your favorite thing about your job?

A: Every day I get to play "Cops and Robbers" with technology. Scanning our network devices and servers, making sure that malware, bots, viruses and all that is potentially dangerous to our environments stay out and not penetrate our network.

Q: In what ways do you work with Cisco technology?

A: I've got a rack at home with several routers and I'm working on labs for my CCNA exam. I configure and blow up the configs, try different things like password recovery, which came in handy when I forgot what I put in TWICE. I'd say it was a good exercise :-)

Q: If you were the Special Advisor to John Chambers and could make him do anything you wanted with the company, what would you have him do?
