Joe Raschke
Joe has spent his entire career spanning more than 30 years in Information Technology based in Chicago. From the early days of personal computers, hacking together Commodore and Apple Computers till today’s advanced Threat Hunting analysis and serverless computing, Joe has been an early adopter of technology and an evangelist for securely delivering Information Technology to a wide range of organizations. Starting as a University of Illinois graduate, he worked as a system programmer/operator on the initial Cray computer installation and installed the University’s first Computer Networks including BITNET and local area networks. Then as a consultant in Chicago, he worked at several Midwest firms installing and securing over 500 Networks.
Joe has spent his career across many vertical markets including manufacturing, financial, legal, and healthcare markets. He has managed teams at companies ranging from regional firms to global enterprises, and developed infrastructure, security and compliance programs for those companies. Bringing insight into the mind of a CISO, Joe has implemented regulatory programs to address today’s complex compliance requirements such as HIPAA/HITECH, ITAR, SOX, and GDPR. He would bring the InfraGard Board a broad background of experience working with people and security, bolstered by his CISSP (Security), CRISC (Risk) and CIPP (Privacy) certifications. In his past role at Illinois Tool Works (ITW) he was responsible for establishing a Cybersecurity Program that guided and instructed 85 Divisions on Cybersecurity from Risk Management, Incident Response, Vulnerability Analysis, and Resilience. Joe is currently a Principal Solution Strategist with Saviynt, A Gartner recognized leader in Identity Governance.
Joe has been active in the Chicago area over the past 30 years as well with his family and with Baseball and Cub Scouts. Joe is a District Commissioner with the Pathway to Adventure Council, and Cub Master of Cub Scout Pack 39 with over 120 members.
With a passion for education and making connections with people, being an InfraGard member for the past six years has been a great experience. Joe’s role, if elected, would be to continue that outreach to InfraGard Members and prospective members around the Chicago Area. As an Information Technologist Joe has realized that it all starts with people, and it cannot be all about technology. Getting elected as a Board Member of the Chicago Chapter of InfraGard is a great way to contribute back to our community and our partnership with the FBI.
