“I’m excited about the challenges of helping secure the information of a large ‘city-within-a city’ such as Emory.” – Jason Iacono

Jason Iacono is the newest senior security specialist working on the Enterprise Security, Threat, Vulnerability and Incident Management team. Before coming to Emory, he spent over two years at ControlScan, where he primarily did security engineering for a product called LogRhythm. Before ControlScan, Jason worked in various other IT-related roles, including at HP. He’s done IT work such as Active Directory migrations, high availability storage, and virtualization.

Born and raised in the Greater Atlanta area, Jason has lived in Gwinnett County, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, and Atlanta proper. When talking about his family, Jason said, “I have an uncle who looks like Chuck Norris and my grandfather claims to have shined shoes for Mafia guys for when he was a kid in the 1940s.”

Jason’s favorite pastime has been restoring a classic 1974 Starcraft boat. “After losing a propeller and nearly capsizing in the wake of a larger cruiser, things have been much better with it. I try to get up to the lake every weekend,” said Jason.

“My team members are super smart and always willing to share expertise,” said Jason about his new team. “I’m excited about the challenges of helping secure the information of a large ‘city-within-a city’ such as Emory.”
