About Me….

My name is Brennan Crowe.  I have worked at Check Point, Dell SecureWorks and Fiserv. I was a Security Support Engineer on the Microsoft Forefront Edge CTS Security team based in Las Colinas. I have been with Microsoft since September 1997 til 2012. Prior to joining the Security organization, I was with the Windows Server Platforms Networking Team. I have a BA in Economics from the University of North Texas, a MBA in Global Business from the University of Dallas, and currently, I was a candidate for a Master of Science Degree in Information Assurance from the University of Dallas but life got in the way and I never finished my thesis. I have the MCP, MCTIP, MCSA +Security, MCSE +Security, MCT, ITIL Foundations, C|EH, CCNA and the CISSP certifications.

My philosophy on Security is preservation of human life primarily, then using best judgment in making risk analysis and assessment with appropriate countermeasures for the protection of business assets based on fundamental cost/benefit analysis. In short, do what is necessary but don’t go overboard with the cost so they don’t outweigh the benefit.

In my personal life, I am married and have a beautiful daughter that I am very protective of. I love the sports of hockey, college football and baseball. I am a hometown fan, and I follow the Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks, FC Dallas and of course, the Dallas Cowboys.
