Summary
Michael Phillips is a seasoned cyber security manager with 11+ years of experience in designing, testing, and securing large-scale network and virtualization environments, currently leading security efforts at NetApp. His deep networking background spans Ethernet, WAN protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), VoIP call control, and multi-service IP architectures, paired with hands-on expertise in firewalls, IPS/IDS, VPNs and identity/vulnerability management. A former Cisco systems engineer and lab lead, he authored validated designs, ran complex PoCs, and mentored junior engineers while driving cross-platform test strategies and automation using Bash, Python, Expect and custom tools. Comfortable across Windows and Linux servers and virtualization stacks (VMware ESX), he also brings practical experience with industry test gear (IXIA, Spirent) and early-stage product integration. Colleagues rely on him to translate intricate architectures into repeatable, secure solutions—and he combines that rigor with a curiosity rooted in his science background in astronomy and technological systems management.
