Summary
👤
SeniorSusan Sons is a cybersecurity leader and Managing Director with over a decade of experience translating technical security into practical, mission-aligned programs for universities and organizations. She built and led SOC capabilities at Indiana University—rising from senior systems analyst to Executive Director of OmniSOC—and now runs Stoic Cybersecurity, LLC to advise on scalable, human-centered security. Susan emphasizes that good security is led by strong leadership and thinking humans, not off-the-shelf products, and she focuses on solutions that protect without hindering institutional goals. Her background blends hands-on systems and software engineering with operational SOC leadership, giving her a rare mix of technical depth and strategic oversight. Based in Bloomington, Indiana, she is known for making cybersecurity accessible to non-technical executives and boards. An unexpected strength is her long-term habit of bridging community-facing roles (e.g., community management) with technical consulting, which sharpens her communication and stakeholder alignment skills.
