Information technology has become my passion dating back to the late 80’s when our school first acquired its first personal computer “Apple Macintosh 128K”. My curiosity and determination to learn about information technology started to evolve. Throughout my career, I have successfully completed numerous software development projects using various programming languages which include Java, Python, PHP, SQL, C++, HTML, Pascal, Qbasic and KALI Linux. I also demonstrated knowledge in Information Systems Project Management, Virtualization, Systems and Network Security, Data Communications and Networks, Application Development with Database, Database Management, Ethics in computing, Microsoft office suite and Microsoft 365. In addition, I have served in the US Armed Forces for almost a decade where I acquired skills in leadership, discipline and loyalty. Over the past decade, I have worked for various companies providing quality customer service to both internal and external customers. My knowledge and skills play a major role in strengthening our cybersecurity posture and practices. I believe in work/life balance. During my free time, I enjoy working out at the gym and spending time with family.

As an experienced IT professional with over 13 years of experience, my expertise now is in the field of cybersecurity leadership. Hi, my name is Herty Semes. I am, we are, GHK Security Solutions. As a father, a brother, a friend, a partner, a mentor, as well as an Information Assurance Specialist, I am always doing the right things in Cybersecurity. Part of the goal in life is to be an impactful leader in cybersecurity. And I am here to do just that. Throughout my career, from an educational grounding in IT/Networking and IT Management, I have further developed a deep understanding of the intricacies of IT and Cybersecurity mainly
at the intersection of the two. I understand the evolving threat landscape and have
implemented effective security strategies to protect organizations from cyber-attacks. I am well-versed in security programs, security frameworks and regulations such as NIST CSF, ISO/IEC, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS among others, and have a proven track record of implementing these frameworks to strengthen an organization's security posture. Importantly, I understand the interconnectedness between the domains surround information security.
In addition to my technical knowledge, I am also skilled in agile management and leading teams and collaborating with stakeholders across departments to implement security initiatives. I have experience developing security policies and procedures, conducting risk assessments, and managing incident response plans. With my strong communication skills and ability to explain
complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, I have successfully created a
security-aware culture within organizations and improved overall security awareness. Overall, my experience in IT and cybersecurity leadership positions me as an asset to support any organization looking to enhance their security strategy. I have a lot of hobbies from playing the Ukulele to playing with Kali Linux vulnerability and penetration tools, CTF, cybersecurity competitions, and I especially like cooking because it brings out the creativity in me. And I feel, this is spilling over into the cybersecurity space and I
like it!

I serve as the Co-Founder of GHK Security Solutions, I began my Information Technology career early in 2007 as a Computer Repair Technician/Business Assistant at Pohnpei Computer Consulting. Later on, I ventured out on my own offering Break/Fix services to small-to-medium sized businesses along with other larger organizations, I was drawn to all things security after spending 10 years in both
the IT consulting and repair management fields. I graduated from Bryan University with an undergraduate degree in February 2016 and shortly thereafter earned the CompTIA Security + and SSCP certifications from ISC2. I bring with me 17 years of IT experience in a variety of roles, 7 of which has been a practitioner in
the IT Security workspace working with Fortune 500 and 1000 companies in designing, building, and maturing their cybersecurity posture to meet their standards and obligatory regulations to run safely
and legally. I am proficient in Sec-Ops, security policy, process, audit, compliance, identity access management, along with other technical skills. When I am not working serving the undeserved across industries, I enjoy spending time with my family and strive to make everyone around me feel
welcome and cared for.
