Source: LinkedIn Donnie Freitag Mar 13, 2015I worked with Steven on several projects at Cisco. In all the projects he led and I worked on, Steven has been extremely thorough and helpful.
With all his years of industry experiences and technical expertise, I found him to always lead and guide the project team members with utmost humbleness.
In projects, he has been very clear with the requirements and worked tirelessly to have all information necessary for a successful delivery. His willingness to take extra efforts in ensuring smooth project execution had been admirable. Post project delivery, he has always acknowledged and appreciated project team members on their efforts.
An excellent leader, very down-to-earth and an efficient team player with so much energy... It's been a pleasure to work alongside.
Source: LinkedIn private private Mar 13, 2015Thank you for the opportunity to provide a reference for Steven Parker. I have had the privilege of working with Steven for last four years at Cisco. During that time the majority of our projects were with Fortune 100 customers. When I think of Steven, I only think of strengths – dependability, integrity, intelligence, common sense, and a rapid grasp of new processes just to name a few. Steven’s ability to combine his technical expertise and executive facing is a rare gift. Building and leveraging relationships based on knowledge and trust is Steven’s forte. . I worked with him in both team member and leadership roles and he excelled in each.
His dedication and knowledge of Network Security is unmatched. I'd highly recommend Steven…he is top shelf!

I've had the pleasure of knowing Steven since about 5 years now and have worked with him in a couple of high profile projects while at Cisco.
What i consider most striking about Steven apart from his ability to apply his technical and business sense is the fact that when Steven works on a job he ensures he gives it his absolute best.
His insistence on doing things right and doing things the right way is what sets him apart from others.
Steven is an asset to any organization that he works for and i have the highest recommendations for him.
This letter is my personal recommendation for Steven Parker.
I have known and worked with Steven for several years on multiple, challenging IT projects, Steven was consistently thorough, very knowledgeable and detail oriented on both technical and business perspectives, tackling all assignments with dedication.
It’s been a joy to work with Steven, he’s a team player who is able to present innovative ideas and communicates the benefits effectively. He was successful in leading several Information Technology initiatives that have resulted in increased efficiency, automated processes, enhanced customer service and revenue increase.
Steven is a leader that inspires and motivates other employees to excel in their assignments, he will make a great asset to any organization
Distil Networks is more like a CDN (Content Delivery Network), so every traffic to customers website should pass through Distil server. In other words you have to point your DNS to their CDN (that can potentially bring down your site). They keep analyzing your website through out and if the traffic is found malicious they block.
As you asked about competitors, ShieldSquare as a potential alternative, offers following benefits over Distil:
Non-intrusive API integration that will not affect your website performance and uptime.
Zero False Positives that will ensure that your genuine users are never troubled.
I can offer more direction if I know more about your environment.
Best Regards,
Steven
Denial of Service protection is a key component of your perimeter defense along with your firewall, intrusion detection/prevention and continuous monitoring.
There are several managed service providers that you can choose from. The first vendor you should contact is your Internet Service Provider (ISP), they may have DoS services available as a component of your contract or they will have DoS providers they partner with.
Once you have identified the services your provider offers or the DoS protection partners they have you can evaluate which is best for you.
If you have more questions on this or other security, data protection or regulatory requirements, PCI may be important for you, feel free to let me know.
Best of luck in your venture!

Hi I have over 20 years experience in securing networks and devices with confidential healthcare data. Also, I am multi-certified and I am a Healthcare Certified Information Security Practitioner(HCISSP).
Even if HIPAA is not something you need to do, your first step is to identify a industry standard security framework such as the ISO27000. The framework will provide you with guidance and Best Practices on how you should be securing your environment. The ISO Standards are globally recognized as a strong foundation for security and should be a consideration to follow if you are interested in processing, transmitting or storing healthcare information.
I would be interested in hearing about your strategy and understanding your requirements based on your business needs. This will enable me to recommend the best path for you to go to appropriately secure your environment. I would be happy to have a conversation with you to do this and offer my professional guidance.
Best Regards, Steven
