Article Published by LinkedIn Featuring Chuck Brooks:

5 Tech Voices You Should Be Following on LinkedIn

by Meghan Brockmeyer

https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/blog/marketing-for-tech-companies/2016/5-tech-voices-

you-should-be-following-on-linkedin

When you’re looking for inspiring and informative professional perspective online, where do you

go? Are there experts that keep meaningful tabs on your industry? Or executives whose insights

you turn to for fresh insights and new ideas? If so, you already recognize the huge opportunity to

engage with, and learn from peers online.

Chuck Brooks – Security Voice and “Government Relations and Marketing Executive,

Thought Leader”

Chuck’s varied security experience is evident in what he publishes. From aviation to public sector,

government to science, his posts take on the multifaceted aspects of cyber security as it relates to

industries/verticals, homeland issues and next-gen technology. Since he’s keen on variety, with

formats ranging from expert Q&As to content roundups, to non-tech posts associated with

topics/verticals he’s covered, his perspective truly stands out.

Tech marketer takeaways: Chuck focuses core content on security, but isn’t afraid to include

content tangentially related to core subject matter (e.g. a post focused on mastering the art of

influence in Washington, D.C.) which incorporates fresh/unexpected content to help keep readers

interested and foster conversation.

3 of the biggest concerns about external cyber threats Phishing attacks employing malware, especially ransomware, is a top

cybersecurity concern of Chuck Brooks (@ChuckDBrooks), vice president of government relations and marketing at Sutherland Global

Services. “Anyone and everyone is vulnerable,” he said. “The expanding interconnectivity of our devices and the Internet of Things also makes

malware a network threat. And with these kinds of phishing attacks, it is often quite difficult to find and prosecute the perpetrators.”

Chuck and I served as “invite-only, vetted and trusted advisors” to the Bill and Melinda Gates

Foundation - Technology Partner Network. Throughout the 2year strategic program, Chuck was a

pleasure to collaborate with toward accelerating solutions on a range of global challenges facing the

foundation and its grantees. He was generous in sharing his articles in prestigious publications,

contacts to DC decision-makers and access to his featured speaker and award events.

Currently, I am honored that Chuck chose me to be a manager of his “Emerging & Futuristic

Technologies LinkedIn Group”. Chuck has huge followings on social networks and diligently

responds to his thousands of friends on focused subject matters. He is a holistic thinker grounded in

government, industry and academia leadership. I value any opportunity to work with Chuck to team

38

with strategic partners that can benefit from scaling my IOT, cybersecurity, resiliency and video

initiatives.

I think very highly of Chuck, both personally and professionally. This is also evidenced by my

recommending him to my UK Merchant Bank’s Virtual Technology Cluster as a speaker and director

of their Cybersecurity program blending entrepreneurial firm innovations with Lockheed Martin’s

product development process.

I am confident that if you hire Chuck for any leadership, director, team, award or speaking slots, he

will contribute to catapulting your success and achieving your goals. Besides his many skills, he is a

very nice person as well. Feel free to contact me if you want any further evidence.

Dexter Ingram Senior Advisor, INTERPOL

I have had the pleasure of knowing Chuck for over 10 years, since he was at DHS and I was on the

House Select Committee on Homeland Security. He is a consummate professional who has a deep

understanding of the issues,process, and people involved in the world of homeland security and Law

enforcement. His breadth of experience derived from working on The Hill, in government, in

39

academia, in industry, and with the media make him truly unique. I most highly recommend Chuck

and look forward to continuing working together.

Holger Schulze

Chuck was selected "Cybersecurity Marketer of the Year" at the 2016 Cybersecurity Excellence

Awards. This was quite an accomplishment as the awards were highly competitive with hundreds of

entries and Chuck was one of the leading vote getters overall. This award reflects the information

community's recognition of Chuck's excellence in the cybersecurity and homeland security space. I

follow Chuck's prolific and informative writings and speeches on the topics of cybersecurity,

homeland security, IoT, futurism, and emerging technologies -- many of which are re-posted in our

300,000 members Information Security Community LinkedIn Group. It a real pleasure to endorse

Chuck for his great depth of experience, professionalism, capabilities and for his dedication to

promoting cyber security issues.

Mike Bowers Former President of Xerox Federal, Federal Government Services Executive & Advisor

It was a real pleasure working with Chuck at Xerox. He served us as a thought leader on technology,

BPO, homeland security and other important issues. He has exceptional depth on complex

technology issues and an uncanny ability to rapidly write penetrating articles that were very well

received in the media and Inside The Beltway. His contacts/relationships at DHS as well as his

Rolodex of those in industry and government is second to none and served his BD colleague well.

Most of all he was a professional and great person to work with. I give Chuck my highest

recommendation.

Thomas A. Cellucci, PhD, MBA

Founder, Chairman & CEO Cellucci Associates, Inc.

It is indeed a distinct pleasure to provide this recommendation for Chuck. To put it simply, Chuck

possesses both the strategic vision and tactical discipline to get results--period. Having said that, his

keen intellect is only matched by his genuine good nature and helpful attitude towards others. I

would recommend Chuck for any business activity he would undertake.

41

Herbert E. Spiegel, Ph.D,MBA

President & Chief Science Officer at Applied Science & Technology Associates, LLC

Chuck is an excellent source of information on the national and international scene. He is a mentor of

the first order, with respect to the science and political aspects of Homeland Security and the myriad

of issues surrounding that discipline. He is modest in his expertise and easily approachable. He is a

valuable guide, willing to share his vast experience.

Simon Szykman

Chief Technology Officer, Federal Services at Attain

Chuck and I were colleagues when we were both serving at the Department of Homeland Security.

Chuck was a pleasure to work with and is a consummate professional with executive management

and substantive issue expertise, particularly in technologies relating to DHS. Chuck also brings a

special blend of experience to the table, having successfully served in leadership roles in industry, as

well as executive and legislative branches of government. Chuck is a relationship builder, a

42

"connector" of both opportunities and people. I highly recommend Chuck and look forward to

continuing to work with him in the future.

Admiral Jay Cohen

President at JayMCohen LLC

From my Senate confirmation hearings, through two years of re-inventing the Dept of Homeland

Security Science & Technology Directorate (which was described by the Congress in 2006 as a

"rudderless ship with no one at the helm" and in danger of the Congress rescinding $200M in FY

07), Chuck Brooks as Director of Legislative Affairs at DHS was INVALUABLE to me, the DHS

S&T Directorate, DHS, the Nation AND Congress in making the "reformation" of DHS S&T a

complete success. His Hill/DC acumen, insight, reliability, ability to develop highly effective

congressional interaction/communications is WITHOUT PEER in my nearly 16 years dealing with

senior executive branch officials, industry, academia and the Congress. He has my strongest

recommendation for executive positions of high responsibility in government relations/ business

development. Hon. Jay M Cohen (Rear Admiral, US Navy, ret.)

43

George Romas

Chief Engineer, Cybersecurity at DXC Technology

Chuck spent some quality time with our small startup company. He opened a lot of doors for us,

providing introductions to potential investors and partners, as well as well-connected individuals on

the Hill. Chuck also provided invaluable assistance in forming our company and product strategy.

Pam Turner

Managing Director at Prime Policy Group

March 23, 2009, Pam managed Chuck directly

Chuck was among the "start-up" team at DHS, and had responsibility for a wide range of complex

issues and challenging procedural situations. His knowledge of the issues, familiarity with the

political process, attention to detail, and his professionalism earned him the trust and respect of his

Congressional contacts, his DHS associates, and all those who sought his counsel and help. Chuck is

a "can-do" person, and I strongly recommend him.

Timothy N. Teen

CEO & Board at InSitech, Inc

44

Chuck is very knowledgeable in government affairs, the military and security sector and is a diligent

executive who is great to work with.

While at the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal/ARDEC as well as with CVP, my team worked closely

with Chuck in vetting technologies and services with applications for homeland security and defense.

He has an acumen for technology issues, strong knowledge of investment banking/due diligence

processes, and really knows his way around government bureaucracies.

He is a collaborator who is committed to building great relationship and producing results and I most

highly recommend him.

From “Cybersecurity is Top Business Priority in 2017” https://www.bebee.com/producer/@dbgrinberg/cybersecurity-is-top-business-priority-in-2017

In assessing the severity of security flaws in cyberspace, I spoke with several experts in the field.

Charles “Chuck” Brooks is the vice president for government relations and marketing for Sutherland Government Solutions. He served at DHS as the first director of legislative affairs for the Science and Technology Directorate. He ominously points out:

"The reality is that the more digitally interconnected we become in our work and personal lives, the more vulnerable we become." -- Chuck Brooks

Mr. Brooks adds: "Mitigating cyber threats will grow as a priority for business, and for us personally, if we are to commercially function and prosper."

But how can companies successfully mitigate cyber threats?

His advice: "The C-suites and governing boards of corporations will need to invest in better enterprise and endpoint security to prevent phishing and malware probes by hackers. This will also require better training of executives and employees in basic information security measures."

Navigating the four pillars of Washington By Chuck Brooks, contributor

Washington is an eclectic city. It is a metropolis that is thriving economically and socially. Its architectural

design is modeled after Paris and it is certainly a city of cultural diversity and historically interesting

neighborhoods. Visually, the site of the monuments reflecting against the panoramic backdrop of the Potomac River is memorable for both visitors and native Washingtonians alike.

52

It is really a city like no other city in America. Although it may be geographically small, Washington

serves as the engine of government, an anchor of global financial policy and representation, a seat of institutionalized policymaking organizations, and as a growing center for business, especially in high

tech.

When I first came to Washington, I was overwhelmed by the intensity of life "inside the Beltway." I was enamored with all it had to offer ("Potomac Fever") but uncertain how to navigate it and decipher how

things worked. Looking back, I would like to offer structure and pathways for others contemplating a public service career or seeking to accomplish tangible objectives for policy and/or business purposes in

the nation's capital.

There are four pillars that comprise the foundation of the operational world of Washington: government

(executive, judicial and legislative branches); commercial (business, including global financial

institutions; policy: (academia, think tanks and associations/organizations); and media (old and new).

These pillars function both individually and collectively. They are intertwined and to be effective, it is

essential to understand their roles and impact on what you hope to accomplish. Understanding and gaining experience within these pillars that comprise the operational system of Washington takes focus

and time. Success can be realized by navigating the pillars and establishing a strategy of strategic

relationship building and connecting.

Government: There has never been any doubt that government and politics make Washington tick.

Government is not only the basis for tens of thousands of jobs in the area, but it also serves as the

fulcrum for evolving and communicating domestic and international policies. Government is the center for laws and executive orders overseeing all aspects of our daily life and our professions. The Pentagon,

intelligence agencies, and Department of Homeland Security are all based in Washington because it is

the epicenter of power and decision-making. Government in Washington is by design structured as a system of check and balances. An understanding of how the various branches of government function is

essential to influencing any regulatory outcome whether it be energy, healthcare or a national security issue. Working on Capitol Hill is invaluable experience and connects to all the pillars and is a special

pedigree for mobility in one's career.

53

Commercial: Although it is not a financial center like New York, Washington has been transforming over

the years as a commercial hub. The World Bank, Federal Reserve, International Financial Corporation and the Chamber of Commerce are some of the organizations headquartered in the city. Many

corporations have also relocated to the area to be near the action and position themselves for

government and commercial opportunities. Both Virginia and Maryland have established high-tech corridors close to the city for those reasons. The international community with their embassies and trade

groups increasingly see Washington as a growing center for commerce. Policy: It is not only the pillars of business and government that are cogs in the machine. Policy

organizations (such as the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Brookings Institution, the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute and the Aspen Institute) that provide issue

expertise, training and solutions are really the enabling fuel. A myriad of think tanks offer the latest

insights in domestic and global events on a regular basis. Top local universities (such as Johns Hopkins's School of Advanced International Studies, George Washington, Georgetown, American,

George Mason, and Maryland), also promote dialogue and informed decision-making and access. The over 6,000 associations and organization with issue specific interests regularly outreach to key decision–

makers who are part of the public and private sector pillars. Strategic communications and thought

leadership are integral tools for persuasion. Media: The media are disseminators of information, with the duty to circumspect the activities of the

other three pillars. The media's role is a fundamental one; any system of democratic government cannot operate without transparency and oversight. In Washington, most of the country's key media outlets

have representation. Outside traditional old media, new media has become a force to consider. Most

citizens have constant access and the metrics of public opinion are constantly pulsed. Corporate executives and government leaders use the social media, especially LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter as

part of their work environments. Government 2.0 and Business 2.0 are becoming the norms.

Working in one or all of the pillars is helpful in terms of building issue expertise, contacts and gaining a

holistic perspective of how Washington really works. This experience can provide the tactical knowledge to advance your marketing efforts and/or cause in the public/private world. There is no substitute for

experience and for building a personal network to be empowered and effective. To be successful, you

have to always keep abreast of the latest trends and be visible and helpful to your customer. In the

54

Washington arena, you also have to develop the qualities for resilience and persistence as no one is

always on the winning side of issues and contracts.

Washington will always have its image challenges and be an enigma as to how it functions, especially to

those who have never experienced life inside the Beltway. Exploring and experiencing the four pillars will bring an understanding of how to navigate a path to success for those who come to this amazing city to

make a difference and leave a positive legacy.

Will Always Be the Human Element

Cybersecurity expert Chuck Brooks talks about where we stand in what many people

call the "wild, wild west" of cybersecurity.

Human-Element.html

BY LARRY KARISNY / MARCH 1, 20160

If you're in the cybersecurity business, you know the name Chuck Brooks. He is an advisor to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Technology Partner Network, chairman of

CompTIA's New and Emerging Tech Committee, subject matter expert to the Homeland Defense and

Security Information Analysis Center, “passcode influencer” for The Christian Science Monitor, on the

Board of Advisors for CyberTech, and on the Board of Directors at Bravatek and the Cyber Resilience

Institute.

Brooks also has authored numerous articles focusing on cybersecurity, homeland security and

technology innovation for such publications as Forbes, Huffington Post,InformationWeek, MIT Sloan

Blog, Computerworld, Federal Times, NextGov,Government Security News, Cygnus Security Media, Homeland Security Today, The Hill and Government Executive.

I recently got a chance to get Brooks' take on where we are today in what many people call the "wild,

wild west" of cybersecurity. Here are his thoughts.

Q. You wear many hats and certainly have been focused on cybersecurity for some time now. So tell me, who is Chuck Brooks and what is he trying to accomplish this space?

A. You are right, over my career in government, corporate and academia, I have worn many hats. There

have been some strong common threads [of] science, technology, national security, and legislative and

executive policy in all my various roles. Thankfully, I selected a professional vocation of government relations and marketing that encompasses all those threads.

My passion for cybersecurity issues was first established over a decade ago during the time I spent at

the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate. Back then, the threats to

our critical infrastructure were not as pronounced as they are today. Of course we were just beginning to experience the smartphone era. The field of cybersecurity has evolved exponentially along with the

technologies, networks and connectivity that make up the cyberecosystem. And the ecosystem is quite

diverse and expansive, comprising software, hardware, monitoring, forensics, governance and more.

All these elements make it an exciting area to explore since there is always more to learn from strategy

and technology perspectives. Also, it certainly blends my common career threads.

For anyone’s career focus, studying cybersecurity makes [sense] since it touches everything work- or

personal-related. In both the public and private sectors — just about every CIO survey — cybersecurity

is the top concern. And of course, along with data analytics, cybersecurity is a annually a budget

56

priority of federal spending. DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson recently described cybersecurity and

counterterrorism as the two top priorities for the protecting the homeland.

What I want to accomplish in this space is to continue being a subject matter expert in cybersecurity; I

enjoy writing and speaking about the varied aspects of the topic and especially in educating others on

how it can impact their lives. My advisory and board director roles with organizations are a reflection

of that interest. When I retire (which is a long way off), I hope to join academia again in a part-time

role. I spent two years at Johns Hopkins University SAIS [School of Advanced International Studies] teaching graduate students homeland security and found it very fulfilling.

Q. You have one of the most active groups in LinkedIn under the heading of the

Department of Homeland Security. How has this helped both yourself and DHS in

feeling the pulse of the cybersecurity industry? A. I do operate a half dozen groups that focus on homeland security and information security on

LinkedIn, including a few of the largest groups: “U.S. Department of Homeland Security, DHS”

“Information Technology (Homeland & National Security)” and “Homeland Security.”

In all, these groups include about 60,000 people. Among the members are a host of well-known

cybersecurity professionals who often post and comment on issues of the day. Also, as any news on data breaches or cyberincidents occur, they are often posted in the LinkedIn groups.

Moderating these groups certainly keeps me updated and in tune with the pulse of policy. It has also

served as a great networking venue to share ideas and information with some of the best security

minds around in both the private and federal sectors. Many senior-level executives in the federal government are on social sites such as LinkedIn, GovLoop, Facebook and Twitter. There are an

estimated 1.5 million federal government employees who regularly use LinkedIn, including over

65,000 from DHS. Because of the growing need for public/private-sector collaboration and interface,

being actively involved in social media makes a lot of sense.

Q. What is Sutherland Government Relations and what do you do for the company?

A. Sutherland Global Services is a global provider of business processing services, contact centers, IT service desks and management consulting serving government and U.S. leading corporations across

multiple industries, including health care and insurance, technology, mortgage and loan services,

finance and banking, retail, and travel. Sutherland has 36,000 employees and annual revenues of over

$1.2 billion, [and] was listed in 2015 as one of the fastest growing private companies in America byInc.

I work for the recently created Sutherland Government Solutions as VP of Government Relations and

Marketing, where we are at several agencies and are known for integrated services for citizen service

needs and digital government. Our cybersecurity operations at Sutherland Government Services are

internal, but we do have a practice in customer relations management after a company or agency has

been breached. Our cybersecurity practice is led by Glenn Schoonover who has a deep technical background. He is a former chief information security officer for the Army and was responsible for

providing network security to the Department of the Army headquarters. He is also a former senior

technology strategist for Worldwide National Security and Public Safety at Microsoft.

Q. I see you are active in both the public and private sectors when it comes to cybersecurity. What are the similarities and differences between these two sectors?

A. The biggest difference is that government is motivated by mission, and the private sector (for the

most part) is driven by profit and loss. The R&D efforts, innovation sector and skilled technical

expertise in the private sector has been more robust than in government. Industry is more agile and

able to react to threat trends. On the federal side, the landscape has really changed over the past few years. [The U.S. Department of

Defense], of course, has had the cybersecurity war-fighting mission and continues to build upon new

requirements for operations and for systems. On the civilian side, DHS takes an increasingly larger role

in cybersecurity. Presidential and congressional directives have mandated that DHS play a growing

58

and more primary role, especially with protecting critical infrastructure (transportation, health,

energy, finance) that is mostly owned by the private sector. DHS has to step up its activities in

assessing situational awareness, information sharing, and resilience research and development plans with stakeholders. This has led to a trend in public-private partnering for sharing threat information

and in creating standards and protocols. In both the public and private sectors, training of the next-

generation cybersecurity technical and policy [subject matter experts] is a major priority.

Q. To date, there seems to be a stand-off between Apple and the federal government when it comes to iPhone security. What are your thoughts on this, and can this bring

about some lessons learned for the cybersecurity industry?

A. This is the topic of the day, and it is a complicated issue relating to government requesting a

corporation to provide software to allow access to data. My thoughts may be a bit different from some of the others in the industry. While I recognize the importance of privacy and the dire risk of an

Orwellian surveillance state, I consider protecting innocent lives as a mitigating circumstance. What if

that data that the FBI is seeking on the terrorist's encrypted phone uncovers a deeper terrorist network

planning more horrific acts? In my opinion, this is a mitigating circumstance.

What should be done is to establish protocols between industry and law enforcement to cooperate in these type of instances (with proper warrants and assurances) so that company Internet protocol can

be isolated and privacy issues for the company’s customers can be best addressed. I am quite sure

Congress will be looking closely at this case to establish legislation to create a working formula. The

lesson for cybersecurity is that there is a balance between privacy and security that has to be constantly

reviewed in accordance with the threats at hand. Q. With billions of Inernet of Things devices on the near horizon and zetabytes of data

projected by 2020, can we secure and control our digital processes, or are we headed for

a digital train wreck?

59

A. According to Gartner, there will be nearly 26 billion networked devices on the Internet of Things

(IoT) by 2020. Moreover, it will keep expanding as the cost of sensors decreases and processing power

and bandwidth continue to increase. The fact is that most of these IT networks will have some sort of an IoT-based security breach. We could be headed for a digital train wreck if IoT security standards are

not adopted. We may have a digital train wreck even if they are adopted. Standards will have to be

developed industry by industry. Protecting a network of medical devices in a hospital will require

different sets of standards than protecting utilities with SCADA [supervisory control and data

acquisition] systems that make up the electric grid. There are a lot of questions, including who enforces compliance? And what are the liabilities of an IoT breach?

The real danger is that the Internet was not built for

security at its inception; it was built for connectivity.

There is some truth to the notion that your network may someday be betrayed by your toaster or

refrigerator. One thing is for sure: the Internet of

Things will pose many challenges to cybersecurity and

data analytics, much of which we have yet to

contemplate.

Q. You've had the opportunity to review many

cyberdefense technologies. Are we really

finding new solutions that can handle this

explosion of digital processes, or are we still playing the game of catch-up and patch-and-

pray cybersecurity?

A. New solutions are continually evolving with

threats, but there will always be a need for better encryption, biometrics, analytics and automated

network security to protect networks and endpoints.

It is a perpetual game of cat and mouse between

hackers and protectors, and there is really no such

thing as being invulnerable.

In a sense, we are continually playing catch-up and

reacting to the last incident with patches. The weakest

link will always be the human element. However,

there are many new interesting technologies that could significantly impact cybersecurity in the near

future. There are technologies and algorithms coming out of the national labs, government, and from

private-sector R&D and startups that have the potential to be disruptive.

Q. Any final comments? And are there any speaking engagements or events you are

participating in that you would like to announce? Could you also offer a good source for

information on the subject of cybersecurity that you would suggest for our readers?

A. Please check my regular posts in the media and social media, join my LinkedIn groups and follow

me on Twitter @ChuckDBrooks. I do have some future blogs with the National Cybersecurity Institute

on my agenda. Also, in addition to social media, which I highly recommend, there are many excellent

outlets for cybersecurity information including the Homeland Defense and Security Information

Analysis Center. A great site that aggregated cybersecurity news daily is The CyberWire.
