Assistant Adjunct Professor

Phone: (813) 602-1754
Office Location: Albertus Magnus Hall

My name is Dr. Gary Lieberman, I live just north of Tampa Bay in Odessa, FL. I hold a BBA from Baruch College, CUNY, where I majored in Management and minored in Contract Law, I received an MBA, focused on Organizational Behavior, from Georgian Court University, and a Ph.D. in Cybersecurity from Nova Southeastern University.
Recently, I retired as a Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and the Head of Information Security Governance at Lazard, a preeminent global financial advisory and asset management investment bank, headquartered at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. When I first joined Lazard, I built the IT department from the ground up, and then later built the Information Security (IS) department leveraging organizational development and managerial skills gained from career experience, which included helping to start two tech companies. In the early stages of the IS department, I focused on the bank’s five-year cybersecurity plan and brought the Identity Access Management (IAM) program to a financial industry-best maturity level of four out of five.

I was also responsible for authoring and maintaining the bank’s information security framework, policies, and standards, as well as, addressing regulatory agency audit inquiries and due diligence concerns from our clients. As Deputy CISO, I assisted the CISO in overseeing the day-to-day security operations and reporting our cybersecurity posture to the CEO and Board of Directors.

In my career, I’ve climbed telephone poles, worked on developing early versions of the Unix operating system, developed software, started companies, repaired companies, and built successful organizations. In 1990, after serving four years as the Planning Board President, I ran for public office and was elected to and served as City Council President of Mine Hill, NJ. I was re-elected twice and served a total of 15 years in public service. I can converse in the native language of any corporate officer, director, technologist, lawyer, or politician.

My being a professor and sharing my career experiences is my way of paying it forward to all the wonderful teachers I’ve met during my studies and my career. I am a published author and frequently speak on cybersecurity topics at conferences and gatherings.

Stephen Meawad is associate professor of Theology at Caldwell University in New Jersey. His book, Beyond Virtue Ethics: A Contemporary Ethic of Ancient Spiritual Struggle (Georgetown University Press, 2023), offers a critique of modern moral philosophy and suggests a way forward by looking backward at ancient Christian spiritual practices, many of which are embodied in contemporary Orthodox Christianity. His continued research focuses on spirituality, ethics, and theology, with the hopes of recovering the lost art of transformative Christian praxis for the modern world.
