IA/CND watch position is the "point of the spear" for all IT security efforts aggressively blocking, countering and reporting of all attempts by enemy actors to compromise the integrity of the network. Caught, processed and turned in over two dozen internal threats in the form of personnel engaged in immoral, illegal and detrimental activity. Recovered two servers during weekend hours through timely actions and executive thinking during emergency system back-up/crash. Re-organized the existing, poorly maintained, logging system and set the standard of logging excellence. Wrote monthly reports and standard operating procedures that not only made my supervisor look like a genius, but awarded me the promotion to Information Assurance Vulnerability Manager.
