Do you have a hobby/personal passion?  
When not spending time with my wife and 3 kids, I enjoy running.

What was the best advice you’ve ever received?  
I have received a lot of good advice, but something that sticks out is: the night before I started at Schneider Downs (my first job after college) my dad said to me “make sure that this is something that you enjoy, because you will be working for the next 40 years”

Who is your role model?
I have multiple role models. Nobody is perfect. I try to duplicate the positive attributes in people and learn from their flaws.

What was your childhood dream?
To be a trash man (the guy that rode on the back of the truck).

If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your college self? 
Invest in Facebook

People would be surprised to know that I…
Vended cotton candy and lemonade at Cleveland Indians games (1997 – 1999)

What is the best or most interesting thing about your career?   
I started my career (August 2001) at Schneider Downs and my parents have sent a cake to the office for my birthday every year.

What was your first job?   
I was on the maintenance crew and picked up trash at Blossom Music Center.

When you have an hour of free time, what do you like to do?  
Watch poker on TV and play poker if I can get more than an hour of free time.

Do you have advice for young professionals?
Meet as many people as you can and make connections. You never know where they will end up and what they will be doing in 10 to 15 years.

Big Problem: Cybersecurity Defenses Compromised By Employees’ Passwords

Big Thinking: Significant Updates To The Cybersecurity Environment.

Shareholder ERIC WRIGHT has been involved with Information Technology with Schneider Downs since 1983 and oversees the firm’s thriving Technology Consulting and IT Audit & Compliance practices. Through this role, Eric brings extensive experience in assessing IT infrastructure and identifying cybersecurity risk and exposure.
One of our clients felt fairly good about their existing cybersecurity defenses. But they were still afraid of the unknown and newer cyber attack techniques. Through our regular audit procedures, we inquired about their current cyber controls and their confidence in withstanding an attack. We then performed a network penetration test which simulates an external adversary hacking their network. This procedure identified the client's unknown weaknesses in their defenses through a live test. “Within 48 hours, we were able to guess the passwords of close to 10% of their employees, effectively giving us VPN access to their corporate network and certain employee utilities, like email.” Eric said. "We also found that their corporate intranet site was visible over the internet and susceptible to login via the bad passwords. After identifying these issues, we worked with the client to make significant changes to their environment to make it harder for an attacker to break in." Schneider Downs provides Big Thinking and Personal Focus in delivering a variety of services for large and small businesses, both publicly and privately held, as well as nonprofit organizations, government entities and more. Through our commitment to thought leadership and knowledge management, we deliver the solutions our clients need with a personal commitment to service.
