When asked what about his latest cyber security-related accomplishment, Stanton Gatewood, 54, replied “cyber-se- curity is a journey and therefore I am ever voyaging.” Then he said that he had developed and taught baseline security and privacy awareness to all information security officers and security professionals in the USG, and state public li- braries and agencies. His daily responsibility is to assist and advize in the securing and protection at the 35 colleges and universities and more than 300 public libraries comprising the University System of Georgia. Gatewood’s key to cyber defense is a layered approach. Apply policies and standards, introduce security technology and train and educate users. He also says security and cloud computing must be broken down into manageable pieces, as the data must be secure going into, while in and leaving the cloud. “Remember,” he says, “complexity is the enemy of security. Simplify, sim- plify, simplify.” Gatewood’s favorite applications are PGP (Pretty Good Privacy, now Symantec), LANDesk software and Absolute: firmware-embedded endpoint. In 2010, SC Magazine for IT Security Professionals recognized Gate- wood as one of five top IT security luminaries. Gatewood is also a distinguished fellow at the Ponemon Research Institute.
