Ricardo Beltran, Functional Analyst for Facilities Management, recently received his
certification from the GIAC GICSP (Global Information Assurance Certification & Global
Industrial Cyber Security Professional). The process to obtain the certification required
all applicants to successfully pass a 110 question test that examines the knowledge
of every technical and industrial aspect in system security. By passing this exclusive
certification, Beltran is now 1 out of less than 2,500 people in the world who are
allowed to have this form of licensing. Upon receiving the results of the exam, Beltran
was at a loss for words. Through countless hours of studying, determination, and with
over 10 years of working in the technical field his reaction was priceless, “I wanted
to cry! It was a huge honor to be able to do that!” This certification now entitles
Beltran to be classified as an expert in Information Technology and in Operational
Technology. It does not stop there, as he is determined in keeping his philosophy
of positivity and setting goals to always accomplish something new. Beltran has worked
with Facilities for the past four years and has no problem taking initiative in leading
many projects. He believes that by creating a new goal every day is the definition
of success, “By the time I leave work, I want to make sure that I accomplished something
big.” Beltran, along with the entire Facilities IT team strives to do their very best
in helping employees with all their technical and computer needs by making sure our
internet access is secure, there is so much these workers do for the Facilities Community.
We want to thank Ricardo Beltran on this accomplishment as he continues to enhance
his skills for Facilities.
