Don Gibson

Don Gibson is an I.S professional and has spent 12 years working in technology in Investment Banks. An IS professional for 5 years, he holds an active CISSP, and has specialised in Portable Media Management, Blackberry Devices, Data Centres, and third party I.S assessments. He helped make his last bank compliant to the Sarbanes-Oxley protocols as well as obtaining ISO9001 certification.

Leaving University in 1997 with a BSc in Business and Environmental Sciences, Don went straight into working in Investments banks, starting in the IT section of JP Morgan, before going to Dresdner Kleinwort Benson. Within a year he was running the support for the Equity Capital Markets section, and won the trust and admiration of the traders by designing a support model around them and their needs – a totally alien concept to the bank.

Headhunted to join Salomon Smith Barney (later Citigroup) in January 2000, Don worked within the support structure until 2003, when he jumped across into an entirely new section, with global remits. Information Security was the new frontier, and within a year Don had a CISSP qualification (normally something awarded after 3 years), and a seat to see exactly how Information Security could help a business, and exactly how it should not be utilised.

In 2006 he was recruited within Citigroup to be the Information Security Officer for the entire European Equity Trade floor. He left the bank in 2007, to concentrate on running the family home, before setting up Omnia Quae in 2008.
