Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Marcin Zimny and I am an IT professional with over 20 years of experience within multiple security domains in both government and non-government organisations, including those highly regulated.
I am a CISSP, CISM and CEH in good standing and I also hold a few vendor certifications like Ping Identity‘s triple crown (PingFederate, PingAccess and PingDirectory), ForgeRock’s Identity Cloud Professional and Access Management Specialist, last but not least Delinea (formerly Thycotic) Pre-Sales Engineer.
I had the privilege of working on some really exciting projects, from offensive security operations to security governance and management. Though an architect and not a developer by trade, I designed and authored a wireless, rogue access point detection tool in response to PCI DSS compliance requirements for Cardholder Data Environments and a DDI IP Management tool (IP.Pools), which was implemented in a global financial organisation for over 10 years.
I am currently working within Identity and Access Management domain (Ping Identity), solving authentication and authorisation problems for various enterprises ranging from small businesses, large manufacturers, telecom giants to leading global providers of financial market data and infrastructure. I am particularly passionate about and specialise in fraud prevention and Risk Based Authentication.
I have also worked with various other vendors from the Gartner’s leaders quadrant (IAM) like Okta/Auth0. I will be trying to keep the content vendor neutral as much as possible, as this is not intended to be a sales pitch.
