There I shared the lead of the huge project "Blue from American Express" and then moved to Motorola smart card division. After it closed, I moved to IT security where I became an Information Security Architect for 7 years +, before my lay-off in May 2009. After 2 in-between jobs on database security, with Bank of America on Guardium and with Ernst & Young on designing a Database Security Architecture Framework for a large Health Care organization, I've been working full time on Guardium at IBM.
