ITIL - Top Process Improvement Lessons from the Larget Internet Companies

By Gene Kim, CT and founder of Tripwire, Inc.

 

In 1992, he co-authored Tripwire while at Purdue University with Dr. Gene Spafford.  Since then, Tripwire has been adopted by more than 6,000 enterprises worldwide. Since 1999, he has been studying high performing IT operations and security organizations, which led Gene to co-found the IT Process Institute (ITPI) in 2004. In conjunction with the ITPI, Gene co-authored the "Visible Ops Handbook: Implementing ITIL in Four Practical And Auditable Steps" which has since sold over 75,000 copies. 

 He was a principal investigator on the IT Controls Performance Study project, and in 2008, he co-authored the “Security Visible Ops”, a handbook describing how to link IT security and operational objectives in four practical steps by integrating security controls into IT operational, software development and project management processes.

Gene currently serves on the Advanced Technology Committee for the Institute of Internal Auditors where he is part of the GAIT task force, which has created guidance on how to scope IT general controls for SOX-404. In 2007, he was given the Outstanding Alumnus Award by the Department of Computer Sciences at Purdue University for achievement and leadership in the profession.
