In a previous life I was security administrator responsible for the day to day computer security at a mid-sized beltway bandit. In that role I would recommend, evaluate, select and implement security solutions. This included things like PKI, Desktop Encryption, EFS, Desktop Endpoint Protection, DLP, IDS, Firewall, vulnerability scanning, patch management, FISMA, and NAC.
