Debbie Christofferson

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Debbie for 10 years, through her involvement in ISSA. She is a consumate professional with a wealth of knowledge. She has been so generous to speak to our students, providing them with wisdom and direction. Many thanks.”

“Debbie is the consummate Information Security professional. From our days of working together at Intel Corporation through her present leadership in the ISSA, she has been insightful, diligent, and able to remember details while at the same time understanding the big picture. She has an excellent command of her profession, and it was with great confidence that I nominated her for the ISSA Presidency when I stepped down. Debbie has served on the Phoenix ISSA Board for almost a decade, and is now serving on the ISSA International Board of Directors. Her astute awareness of cybersecurity threats, alternative solutions and risk analysis has commended her to a number of major corporations who have benefited since she started her own consulting service.”

“Debbie is a real professional when it comes to managing security and technology projects. I have enjoyed conversing with Debbie about the best practices for modern day security products and mechanisms used to facilitate businesses who utilize the global marketplace.”

“Debbie is a true results-oriented compliance and security professional who consistently seeks the best solutions for the matters that are most important. A natural collaborator, Debbie continually focuses on the greater cause of her mission and the mission of the company while employing pragmatic solutions that minimize overhead and complexity while offering results that protect the company, its shareholders, and its customers.”

“I first met Debbie when she contacted me to sell her home. I have found Debbie to be a person of high moral integrity, highly skilled in her profession and a true friend. Debbie is one of those rare personalities that walks her talk. I would recommed Debbie to anyone, knowing that her professionalism and expertise would be an asset to any organization or individual.”

“Debbie was an excellent policy resource for the Apollo Group Information Security team and was always eager to help. I am grateful I had the chance to work with her!”

“Keeping up with Debbie and the multiple tasks she carries out is a challenge. I began working with Debbie in January 2008 and found the energy and self-motivation element which had been missing from the department. She is always highly professional and takes time to provide valuable insight, wisdom and perspectives. Watching her take control of a program still in its infancy and mature it through passion and energy has been a truly satisfying experience for me. I enjoy working with Debbie and hope to continue with her for several years to come. With Debbie, she always provides encouragement, growth ideas and candid feedback and thanks to people. These traits are greatly appreciated and speak volumes about her.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Debbie for many years at Intel Corporation. My experiance working with Debbie was a very positive one. She was a very task oriented person who you could count on to get results. I can not think of anyone who worked with her who didn't appreciate her dedication and extra effort to get projects completed on time.”

“I have had the pleasure of serving with Debbie on the leadership team of Alliance of Technology and Women (ATW), an organization that supports women's careers in Math, Science, and Technology. Debbie's passion and dedication to the task at hand is always contagious. She is detail-oriented and a true professional. Her compassion ability to inspire others makes her a leader among the elite.”

“Debbie is an amazing security professional. Not only can she work on security projects globally, managing to keep several balls in the air at once and making sure her projects progress satisfactorily against timeline and budget, but she is an exceptional team leader. She understands what motivates different individuals and helps them achieve their best. She also keeps up with global laws and regulations so that she can explain impact on IT security to those who don't speak security regularly. I'd gladly work with Deb again.”
