Areas of expertise include Cybersecurity, IT Security, IT Project Management, Information Security, Management, Business Analytics, Business Administration, Software Development, Database. Many federal, state, city and counties have current RFP’s. RFP’s are used by entities to request proposals for work that will be done inhouse by an outside vendor or company.
