Bill Bernard, CISSP
AVP Security Strategy
Bill Bernard, CISSP, is a cybersecurity expert serving as Senior Director of Solutions Architecture at deepwatch. According to Bill, he is a “a career information security professional who has learned through hard won experience that the engineer's ‘right answer’ isn't always the ‘right answer’ for the business.” Bringing 20 years of experience to his security role at deepwatch, Bill approaches information security as a necessity for all companies, but understanding that one size does not fit all. With a "top down" focus on information security any company can implement a security program appropriate to it's needs. When Bill isn’t busy working with his team and customers to design innovative security solutions, he can be heard on WGN Radio on the John Williams’ Morning Show as the ‘on-call’ cybersecurity expert.

For nearly two decades, I've been using my soft skills to build and develop my career. What began as a minimum-wage wardrobe assistant at Town East Mall has matured into providing business strategy for a new organization under a global brand.
Over the years my career has evolved from a stay-home mom to an office mom and continues to develop and grow. By taking risks and aligning my values with that of my employers I continue to achieve my professional and personal goals. During the course of my career, I have developed a passion for non-profit organizations and have recently joined the board of directors for the Raise My Head Foundation.
