Security executive & USMC veteran

I build and lead
security programs.

I’m Rob Fuller, also known as mubix. I’ve spent 25+ years in security, from military networks and hands-on research to leading teams at United Airlines and McKesson.

I help leaders prioritize risk, build their teams, and turn security strategy into working defenses.

How I lead

Stay close to the work.

Build protection into the system

I design controls that reduce the burden on employees. I prioritize root causes and architecture changes that remove recurring risks.

Make risk clear to the board

I connect technical findings to business impact, investment decisions, and accountable owners.

Evaluate emerging threats

I draw on hands-on research to assess AI and quantum risks. That work includes a DHS AI threat briefing and peer review of FDD’s quantum-readiness roadmap.

Experience

From military networks
to enterprise leadership.

My career spans defense, consulting, technology, aviation, and healthcare. Start with my most recent work, or explore the full history.

2021–Now

Enterprise security leadership

Director, United Airlines → VP, Information Security, McKesson (current)

I built a 25-person security organization at McKesson. At United Airlines, I directed a $25M identity program and led Red Team and Cyber Threat Intelligence.

Explore enterprise roles

At McKesson, I lead security strategy across Red Team, Vulnerability Management, EDR Engineering, and Endpoint Strategy, with a scope of 1.5M+ endpoints. My team cut the critical/high vulnerability backlog 40% in nine months. I also developed the vulnerability disclosure program to support external attack surface management.

At United Airlines, I directed Red Team, Cyber Threat Intelligence, and IAM across a 100,000+ employee operation. I led a $25M IAM program, operationalized 60M+ monthly threat signals, and partnered with TSA, FBI, and ISACs on nation-state response. Audit findings fell 60% year over year.

2017–2021

Big tech & autonomous systems

Uber · Cruise (GM) · Black Hills Information Security

I built security automation and identity architecture, and led red and purple team work across technology and autonomous systems.

Explore technology roles

At Uber, I architected a SOAR detection and attack-emulation platform and led Red/Purple Team work across identity and access management, including the Azure AD migration. At Cruise, I worked on security for autonomous vehicles. At Black Hills Information Security, I built and led a purple-team program of about 30 assessments.

2009–2017

Consulting & red team

Rapid7 · GE · IBM X-Force Red

I conducted security assessments and designed security architecture at Rapid7, GE, and IBM X-Force Red.

Explore consulting roles

At GE (2011–2015), I served as Senior Red Team Analyst and Senior Security Architect. I helped architect the migration of about 500 applications to AWS. As CTO of the National CyberWatch Center, I built a cybersecurity team and developed governance, risk, and compliance frameworks for a national education initiative.

2008–2009

The Capitol & the Pentagon

Incident Response, U.S. Senate · Penetration Tester, Pentagon

I worked in incident response at the U.S. Senate and penetration testing at the Pentagon.

Explore government roles

At the Senate, I investigated security incidents. At the Pentagon, I tested defenses for weaknesses an attacker could exploit. I bring both perspectives to security leadership.

2000–2008

United States Marine Corps

Combat Engineer → Network Security Architect

I served as a combat engineer, then moved into network security architecture and defended military networks.

Explore Marine Corps role

In the Marine Corps, I moved from combat engineering (MOS 1371) to tactical data networks (MOS 0656). I learned to make decisions under pressure and build teams with clear accountability.

Research & community

Still contributing to the craft.

I teach, build tools, and help develop the next generation of security practitioners.
