About Chris Hallman

Chris Hallman is Chief Technology Officer at Mysterion. Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a highly skilled solutions architect with a background in systems, networking and cybersecurity. I am passionately focused on delivering value to customers. I don't sell products/software/services. I provide solutions. Best solution, best of breed and yes, best price. Assisting them with filtering through the background noise tossed at them from SO many vendors. To me, it's not a job; it's a challenge; it's a puzzle and most importantly, it's fun. I've had the privilege and opportunity of working on many complicated projects and with many talented individuals/teams. I consult with customers to help them quantify their needs for cybersecurity, infrastructure, and business continuity. That includes listening and gathering their requirements, documenting options that provide the best solution while being in tune with their budgetary constraints and becoming a partner to their continued success. 802.11a/b/g/n/ac; 802.1x (ISE); 802.1q; 802.1p/QoS/DSCP/ToS; x.509(SSL/TLS)‬ FR, DS1/DS3, OC-x, VPN, 10/40/100GE‬ Routing: RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, OSPFv3, BGP‬ Optical carrier equipment: CWDM, DWDM‬ ADC/SLB highly available application delivery‬ GSLB multi-site business continuity‬ CGN: NAT44/NAT444, NAT64/DNS64, DS-Lite‬ WAF application protection‬ DAF DNS server protection‬ DDoS attack mitigation‬ Firewall/ACL, UTM, ATP, APT, NGFW, IPS, DLP, sandboxing, web filtering, transparent/explicit proxy, deception‬ Packet capture & protocol analysis‬ Network management protocols and applications: Cacti, LibreNMS, Check-Mk, NetFlow, MECM, Spectrum, Wazuh, Nagios,‬ Cacti, & SNMP‬ Microsoft Windows servers, applications and databases‬ Linux servers; BIND DNS; web servers (Apache, Lighttpd, NGINX); email servers (not Exchange); MariaDB/MySQL‬ Vendors: A10, Arista, Brocade, Cisco, F5, Forescout, Gigamon, HP, Juniper, PaloAlto, Radware, Vyatta‬ KVM, ProxMox & VMware hypervisors for building virtual network devices and Windows/Linux virtual machines in a lab to‬test and practice with network device configurations‬ Utilized a combination of Bash, CRON and Python for the creation of a OO multi-threaded device configuration deployment, a recurring WAN backup validation test, API log scraping for Wazuh and data extraction for a 95th% capacity‬ planning reports.
