Hello, I'm Tim Heagarty, a Cybersecurity Professional living in Lexington, KY.

Welcome to my site, thank you for visiting.

There are some big changes coming my way and I'm looking forward to them. This site should be adequate to keep up and publish on my new opportunities.

I have participated in the Information Systems Security industry since 1993. Part of that time was spent developing and testing a combination of physical and electronic security systems for a large banking systems provider. Before that I was intimately involved in the software and product development, testing and customer training for the world's leading manufacturer and seller of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs).

I have had the extreme good fortune to consult and directly work for some of the world's top financial institutions and card payment brands.

I have also had the extreme good fortune to be part of a great extended family along with my beautiful artist wife D. Lee. Be sure to check out her site for some of the finest wildlife art you may ever see (ok, so I'm a little biased).
