Dennis Bubla

Retired United States Air Force Technical Sergeant and current student at the Air University; the U.S. Air Force's center for professional military education (PME). Since 2004, I have been employed as a government civil servant manager with the Headquarters United States Air Force. I am currently a Security Control Assessor for cyber-security at HQ Air Force A1, Manpower and Personnel, Digital Transformation, Pentagon. I have the pleasure of serving and acting as the technical authority for matters pertaining to the formulations of concepts, policy, procedures, standards and criteria appropriated to the implementation and management of global Department of Defense and United States Air Force Cyber Security programs. Serving in government has been my goal since 1981, when I graduated from Adams Friendship High School, Adams, Wisconsin and became an Air Force Security Forces member. I hold an Associate of Science in Criminal Justice and Aerospace Management through Palo Alto College, San Antonio, Texas, a double Bachelors of Science degree in Management Information Systems and Computer Information Systems (2001 Magna Cum Laude) from Park University, Parkville, Missouri, a Masters of Science degree in Information Technology Management (2012 Distinguished), and a Masters of Science degree in Information Management - Project Management (2015- Distinguished) from Grantham University, Kansas City Missouri. I am a student at the United States Air Force Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base Alabama. I've been fortunate to hold international certifications for Air Force Cyber Level 2 Warfare, Computing Technology Industry Association's (CompTIA) Security+, Information Systems Audit and Control Association's Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC), E-Commerce Council's Certified Chief Information Security Officer (C|CISO), Certified Payment Card Industry Professional (PCIP), and Certified Payment Card Industry Internal Security Assessor (ISA). The latter two certifications are a proprietary information security standard for corporations that handle branded credit cards from the major card schemes including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JC Morgan Chase Bank. In my spare time, I am a product advisory member with Global Knowledge, a technology and business skills training company, headquartered in Cary, NC; an editor with the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), an international professional association focused on technology governance, a member of the Bexar County Czech and Slovak Genealogical Society, the Wisconsin Czechs and a genealogical researcher for the Streeter Association, in Wamego, Kansas. I enjoy photography and gardening. I co-edited and authored two articles in an international cyber security journal. This was one of many collaborative work assignments but at a global level. I am the son of the late Charles C. Bubla (formerly of Big Flats), Wisconsin and Evelyn L. (Streeter) Bubla Lumby, Mauston, Wisconsin. I like to serve my community using core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self and Sustained Excellence. Professional Military Education is important to me as I understand the mission of the United States Air Force. I have three children, Sergeant US Army Josue Isaac Bubla, Jacob Isai Bubla and Francisco Emanuel Bubla.
