PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
His experience includes nine years with AT&T, where he was responsible
for both MVS and VM technical support and maintenance. While there, he
initiated the computer measurement function for both MVS and VM, using
software monitors and SMF data for chargeback, capacity planning, and system
tuning. His extensive hands-on experience there, with both hardware and
software for mainframes and networks, provided the technical basis for his
subsequent computer security practice.
At a major brokerage firm he created the computer security function,
including complete implementation of RACF security software, development of
security policy and procedures, and development of techniques for analysis of
SMF data to monitor violations and out-of-norm usage. In two years his
computer security work earned him promotions to Assistant Vice President and
Vice President.
Working as a consultant for firms such as Ernst & Ernst (now Ernst &
Young) and Coopers & Lybrand, he developed systematic approaches to evaluating
computer security. He taught these approaches to other consultants and
auditors, and used them successfully in security reviews at client data
centers. At Coopers & Lybrand, where he was director of Computer Security
Services for the Mid-Atlantic Region, he created the C&L Computer Security
seminar series. This included security seminars addressing: MVS, TopSecret,
ACF2, RACF, VTAM, and DB2. Stu developed and taught most of the seminars
himself.
Since 1990, he has directed his own firm, the Henderson Group, which
provides computer security consulting and training in a variety of technical
areas, including: MVS, OS/390, z/OS and Windows/NT/2000 security reviews,
implementation assistance to users of RACF, ACF2, and TopSecret, and
assistance to audit departments conducting MVS and Windows security
audits.
