About | Parker Kingsford

I am Security

As a certified security professional with career, education, and leadership experience in IT management and defensive Cybersecurity operations, I bring a comprehensive approach to protecting digital assets and critical infrastructure.

Currently supporting the Warfighter within Command and Control (C2) Operations at the Department of Defense, I lead staff and manage small to large-scale projects that directly impact national security.

I'm a continuous learner with published research pieces covering a variety of IT and US National Security interests. My commitment to staying current with evolving threats and technologies ensures I provide the most effective security solutions.

I Build Digital

Beyond cybersecurity, I have a strong foundation in digital technology and infrastructure. From network architecture to web development, I understand how systems work together and how to secure them effectively.

This technical breadth allows me to approach security holistically, understanding both the offensive and defensive aspects of cybersecurity while maintaining the operational effectiveness of the systems I protect.
