Importance of MFA in Cybersecurity

Currently, as a Senior Security Solutions Engineer at Trava, I work on different compliance projects which include both security and privacy driven frameworks with clients. I have helped with conducting annual risk assessments on clients and used that knowledge to help organizations towards different compliance certifications and attestations: SOC2, ISO27001, CCPA, GDPR, etc. 

In August 2020, I graduated from Indiana University, where I received a graduate degree of Master of Science in Cybersecurity Risk Management through the Kelley School of Business, Maurer School of Law, and Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering. Through this program, I gained experience working with incident response plans, cybersecurity best practices, and analysis work through clinics and capstones with IU Health and Eli Lilly. In my undergrad career, I studied Law and Public Policy in the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, along with receiving a minor in Human Resource Management. In my undergrad, I traveled abroad in London to learn about UK and US National Security, along with learning from leaders in the MI5, MI6, and the New Scotland Yard. Along with this, I have taken heavy course loads regarding national security, homeland security, law, and policy. 

In my high school and college experiences, I have developed leadership skills through my work as a nanny, tutor, photographer, and media internships. I have developed leadership skills through my chair position on Indiana University Dance Marathon (IUDM), being Director of Chapter History for my sorority Alpha Gamma Delta, and being Photography Editor for my nationally ranked high school yearbook. I have won multiple awards for my work in photography and photoshop, and was given the prestigious opportunity to attend Media Day for the Indianapolis 500 in 2014 to interview and photograph all the drivers.

I am a driven, passionate technologist combining logic, interpersonal skills, and a team-player orientation.

I am inspired by innovation, and actively follow trends in web technology, incorporating them into projects to optimize them whenever and wherever possible. My current personal interests/hobbies include blockchain/smart contracts, IoT, video games, music, and film.

David D'Apice

Software Engineer, Trava

In May 2022, I graduated with a MS degree in Cybersecurity. With this degree I have acquired skills that have enhanced my knowledge and experience in network security, vulnerability assessment, and threat analysis. I have had one technical internship in web development where I reviewed GitLab CI/CD pipelines of medical websites to understand the architecture of jobs in each stage building components such as repositories, libraries, modules, and dependencies to enter testing and deployment. I have also had leadership roles at my university such as working in Career Services and as a board member for Pace Computing Society and PoPTV. I thrive when challenged and thoroughly enjoy learning new things, improving upon myself and my skills. I believe my strong educational background in tech displayed by my undergraduate and graduate degrees demonstrates my knowledge and dedication to becoming a valuable employee in any tech position I attain.

A common component that can be seen on any standard company website is their mission statement. If I had to summarize my mission statement, derived from my experience and skills, it would be to contribute revolutionary ideas to the brightest minds working towards the advancement of technology, bettering the world.
