Mr. McKinney is a Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP).
 
Mr. McKinney most recently worked for BearingPoint's Identity Management Solutions Group where he helped develop one of the country's first successful interagency HSPD-12 PIV implementations - part of GSA's Shared Service Provider program - including the complete infrastructure to create, activate and issue PIV credentials to all participating federal agencies. During this project and others, he designed and implemented back-end infrastructure for identity management systems (IDMS), card management systems (CMS), public key infrastructure (PKI) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) services. Mr. McKinney's pre- and post-sales involvement also included Certification and Accreditation (C&A) and Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) compliance projects. Additionally, he was a significant contributor in the authoring of industry standards.

Suneborn, Director, Government Programs at Hirsch. More information on Hirsch's Identity & Access Management (IAM) solutions here.

"Throughout my career, I've continually been involved with innovative approaches to emerging issues and committed to supporting the security industry by developing standards. Hirsch mirrors this commitment to clients and the industry, and I look forward to contributing to the team to improve compliance, performance and add value to clients in the government and commercial markets."
