About John Protzman

John Protzman is CTO at Forbright Bank at Forbright Bank. Location: Arnold, Maryland, United States.

I'm fortunate to be the CTO of Forbright Bank based in Chevy Chase, Maryland. I initially started as an electrical engineer working at AAI in Cockeysville, MD back in 1979 where I worked primarily on electronic warfare systems related to various aircraft and shipboard systems. Since then, I've run my own computer consulting firm including being a Microsoft Certified Solutions Provider, joined CapitalSource in 2001 and Alliance Partners in 2012. I've held various DOD clearances including defense department simulator related work with AAI and consulting to Defense Investigative Services and US Customs in the late 90s. I consulted as an expert computer forensics investigator in the late 1990s when my forensics interests first started. I have 35+ years experience working in IT and related technologies. Current certifications include EnCE (Encase Certified Examiner), CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), and GIAC GCFA & GCCC. Some past certifications include Certified NetWare Engineer (v2.1x,2.2,3.x,4.1,5.x, TCP/IP, SAA), MCSP, MCSE, MCT – Microsoft NT4.0,SMS,TCP/IP, Exchange.
