Dr. Catherine J. Ullman is the Principal Technology Architect, Security at University at Buffalo. She began her IT career nearly 20 years ago as a Technical Support Specialist for Corel Word Perfect. After gaining valuable experience, as well as several technical certifications while working for Ingram Micro and subsequently Amherst Systems, she
was offered and accepted a position at UB as a Systems Administrator in 2000 in which she provided both server and workstation support for several departments within Undergraduate Education. While she enjoyed her support role, she began to specialize in computer security and computer forensics. As a result, Cathy was often utilized by the Information Security Office to assist in the investigation of security breaches. Ultimately, she was asked to join the Information Security Office full time in 2009. In her current role as a Senior Information Security Analyst, Cathy is responsible for performing computer forensic investigative services for compliance on potentially compromised machines as well as for personnel issues. She also assists with incident management involving intrusion detection and analysis and provides security awareness training to departments on campus upon request. In her (minimal) spare time, she enjoys researching death and the dead, and learning more about hacking things.
