Getting To Know Scott Bannon
Welcome to my professional profile site and thank you for your interest to learn more about me.
IT Security Focus
Security is critical in Information Technology and has been my career focus & passion from the beginning. As malicious hackers often say "Own your network or I will", which is a disturbing but true statement especially in today's globally connected Internet ecosystems.

For more information on my IT Security background, please see my "Security Specialist" section.

I am fondly known as a "techie" and have dedicated my career to Information Technology. My passion for new technologies drives me to research, learn, and fully understand all aspects so that I can apply the new knowledge & concepts to all areas where there can be a benefit or improvement.

I believe in providing the best possible solution to all situations pulling on my experience, implementing industry standards & best practices, covering all detailed/logical aspects of a solution, thinking outside the box, and having unbiased opinions with an open mind for the best options available. My career satisfaction comes from providing a positive contribution to any situation and knowing that I have made a difference.

I enjoy new challenges as they expand my knowledge contributing to new ideas, better methods, and improving the way I approach the next project. I believe taking ownership and responsibility is an important part to ensure quality results and instills pride in everything I do. I respect others knowledge and experience as we all have something to learn in all areas to improve both what we know and how we do things. I enjoy working and collaborating with others within projects and especially in team environments.
