Mark Maynard, CISSP
Cyber Range Director & Cybersecurity Executive
Over two decades of hands-on management and technical experience securing multi-billion-dollar commercial enterprises, architecting globally distributed cyber defense solutions, and steering high-consequence incident response remediation missions.
As Cyber Range Director at the Oklahoma Cyber Innovation Institute, I guide the holistic technical and strategic orchestration of the state's first comprehensive cyber range simulation ecosystem. We frequently host, present to, and brief civic leaders, corporate board members, congressmen, and regional dignitaries—showcasing advanced defensive frameworks that shield mid-market assets and drive economic resilience.
Serving as Chapter President for ISC2 Tulsa, I direct our professional development tracks, anchor monthly leadership meetings, and construct cross-functional bridges across the region's technical community. True systemic defense is anchored in peer-to-peer trust, continuous knowledge transfer, and transparent communication protocols.
A robust tenure protecting critical global infrastructure. Key legacy operations include serving as Principal Consultant and Incident Response Remediation Advisor for Mandiant (Google Cloud), and leading enterprise infrastructure defense suites as Director of Global Information Security Architecture and Engineering for Johnson Controls.
