Welcome to the Time Capsule | Hunter Storm’s Receipts and Relics
Welcome to the time capsule, a virtual Cradle of Life. This is where Hunter Storm provides a Tomb Raider’s view of cybersecurity and technology history. This page brings the metaphorical receipts and gives a view of the industry. It pays homage to the early days of tech, as well as to Hunter Storm’s career path through the lens of her legacy partnerships and certifications.
This virtual “Museum of The Storm” is a work in progress (WIP), so check back to see what archival treasures may emerge from the catacombs and crypts.
Business Cards (Legacy Only)
This section contains scans of Hunter Storm’s previous business cards. Most people in the types of roles she held did not order business cards. They chose to remain invisible for operational effectiveness. However, Hunter chose to order business cards because she also interfaced with those outside her organization. Business cards helped external partners develop confidence and trust in the business relationships.
Security Operations Center (SOC) Information Security Engineer
Today, the business card below may appear to be innocuous and mundane, at least within the cybersecurity world. The title “Information Security Engineer” could refer to almost any technical role in cybersecurity operations. However, in the days when this card was printed back in 2006, the title was reserved for those in a specialized role in the global enterprise.
Hunter Storm said this about the card: “If memory serves, I believe there were around 5 or 6 of us with this title worldwide. It was a designation for SOC personnel only and could not be used outside our organization. As soon as the title was dropped in a conversation or message thread, it was understood at certain levels as a role where the buck stopped. If one of us was in a call, people didn’t ask to escalate or talk to our leadership, at least no one who knew what that title meant. No slight intended to any other role, but this business card holds a special place in my heart and history.”
After Hunter moved into other roles, the job title began to be used across the global enterprise and lost its specialized meaning.
Hunter Storm | Certifications (Historic Only)
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)
CompTIA Network+ Certified
MOUS (Microsoft Office User Specialist) Master
Access 2000, Outlook 2000, PowerPoint 2000; Excel 2000 Expert, Word 2000 Expert
ArcSight Certified Security Analyst (ACSA)
Hunter Storm received this certification during testing and deployment of one of the early Security Event and Information Management (SEIM) event correlation tools. She was involved with testing, tuning, and administering the tool for the Wells Fargo global enterprise. Since this is a legacy tool, there is no potential for creating any risks to the environment by discussing it here.
Hunter said this about the certification and her experience with the tool, “I felt deeply honored to have been part of the project, as well as to have created the very first production detection signature for our enterprise in the ArcSight environment. It was the perfect tool to conduct analytics.”
Partnership Letters and Affiliations
Before Hunter Storm had Trusted Partners, otherwise known as affiliates, she had technology partnerships. Whose Partner Programs did Hunter Storm join? Back in 2005, Hunter Storm was a:
- Dell Partner
- HP Partner
- Microsoft Partner
Then, she got an opportunity to join Wells Fargo as a Systems Architect in Operations and Corporate Technology Architecture (OCTA). So, she shelved her consulting work to transition into a large corporation and use her skills in service of what would later become the largest financial institution in the world.
Page Image | Top Dawg Award
The image for this page is not an official award that was delivered via formal enterprise channels. Instead, the Top Dawg Award is something altogether unique. One of Hunter Storm’s Enterprise Information Security colleagues created this award and left it for her as a silent tribute. Although, it’s also a distinct possibility that a group of her impish colleagues colluded to create this. The word “collude” is used here instead of “collaborate” as an inside joke about related work in tracking insider threats.
The award features an unofficial image of Jack the Dog, symbolizing the Security department. Jack is the symbol for the Security department because he was a Pitbull who died in a fire defending a bank vault until the end in the early days of the company.
Fun sidenote: Hunter Storm received a Jack the Dog keyring charm when she joined the SOC. This worn keyring charm metaphorically protects her motorcycle key to this day. This rumpled award hung in Hunter’s cubicle and now resides in a place of honor in her awards scrapbook.
Hunter Storm said this about receiving the award: “I don’t know who created this, but it is beautiful, fun, and perfectly captures our shared sense of duty and mutual respect. I’ve received many awards over my career and am deeply honored and grateful for all of them. However, this award is special to me because it came straight from the heart of someone in the trenches with me.”
Therefore, Hunter chose to make this Top Dawg Award the image for this page. That way, it can stand as a permanent record and tribute to her unseen colleague(s). She hopes the person or people who created it see it someday so they can see the impact their effort and words made.
