Shannon Brown — Security operations & risk leadership

Explore the work ↗   ·   Read the perspective   ·   LinkedIn

Clear judgment. When the stakes are real.

I lead security operations and build practical tools for making better decisions across physical, cyber, and business risk.

Professional experience: GSOC Manager through Allied Universal, leading a 24-member, 24/7 Global Security Operations Center for a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical client. My responsibilities include supervisor coaching, operating standards, incident coordination, escalation, and executive communication. I became Manager in November 2025, following Analyst and Supervisor roles earlier that year.

My earlier work spans commercial risk, international investment analysis, and regulated financial services. At Phoenix Far East Investment Group, I negotiated $7 million in annual primary-supplier savings—a historical commercial result from that role.

Education: Harvard Master of Liberal Arts in Information Management Systems (2022); Bachelor of Liberal Arts in Business Administration & Management, cum laude (2021); Cybersecurity Graduate Certificate. CompTIA CySA+ ce and Security+ ce, awarded 2025.

Full professional chronology and résumé

Work you can inspect

Independent portfolio project · Synthetic training scenarios

A working simulation of first-hour security decisions: assess reports, recommend a posture, document treatment and ownership, and inspect the after-action record. Directed by me and developed through AI-assisted design and engineering. The case study explains three product decisions, their tradeoffs, and the limits of the simulation.

Synthetic example

A fictional monitoring outage, three options, a named risk owner, and explicit conditions for changing the recommendation. A compact example of how I structure a consequential choice.
