RssInformation Security Problem Solver

I am looking for a company that understands the value of having a secure information technology infrastructure, but hasn't quite mastered the how. I bring real world experience and academic value in my approach to master information security problems. The experience and skills that I bring to the table are from a variety of sources, including work related and hobby experience. My ideal employer wants someone who takes into consideration business needs and doesn't just throw around technical solutions.
