He founded his own company, JINBU Corporation, in 1986; much of his consulting work in that firm was database-performance analysis and redesign for optimization. Other assignments included overall operating-system analysis and optimization for improved performance to meet service-level agreements for quality of service; he was assigned twelve such contracts for the Government of Canada in 1989. He also completed several contracts in organizational analysis to help improve operations and management processes.

He worked with Adario/AtomicTangerine where he supported the International Institute for Information Integrity (I-4).

He was a member of the committees defining the Common Body of Knowledge for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) designation in the mid-1990s and earned his CISSP in 1997. The committee used his 1996 textbook, The NCSA Guide to Enterprise Security (McGraw-Hill) as one of their resources. His certification as an Information Systems Security Management Professional (ISSMP) was granted in 2005. He terminated his use of the CISSP and ISSMP designations in 2021.

He wrote two security-management columns a week distributed by Network World from February 2000 to September 2011 and one per week for InfoSec Perception from October 2011 to the end of 2013. His public website has a total of over 2,000 PDF files and over 500 instructional PowerPoint files freely available to anyone for non-commercial use.

He has been an invited lecturer at the U.S. War College, the Pentagon, and at NATO Counterintelligence training in Germany. He was inducted into the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) Hall of Fame in December 2004.
