Randy Rowland joined Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) in January 2025 as a SOC Analyst Intern. In this role, he works on developing scripts, Active Directory Policies, and conducting Active Directory reviews, as well as monitoring logs and conducting analysis to identify attacks. Previously, Randy was in the Air Force for 19 years doing IT infrastructure, systems administration, and managed GRC programs. He came to BHIS through SkillBridge, a program that connects service members with real-world training and work experience in high-demand fields before their military discharge. He admires the community that BHIS has built and is proud to be part of it and looking to contribute back as well. Outside of work, Randy can be found playing video games, catching up on a backlog of books, restoring his 1972 Dodge Charger, and smoking huge hunks of meat on his smoker.
