  David is a strong proponent of the use of open sharing to facilitate secure code reuse, best practices, and in-depth security and visibility concepts in a collaborative environment as a fundamental requirement to a stronger overall digital ecosystem. Building upon a solid network security infrastructure, he and his team have completely re-developed, over the past four years, an extensible Offender Management System (OMS) and Parole Information Center (PIC) which is able to consume and publish secure web services as a focal point to manage the life-cycle of offenders and to enhance the organization’s overall effectiveness in providing services to the community.

  Prior to joining SCDPPPS in 1997, O’Berry served as Network Manager at the Department of Juvenile Justice. Since his move to SCDPPPS, David has been directly involved with South Carolina’s Information Technology Solutions Committee in various capacities working towards standards and solutions in all areas of technology throughout the state. During his multi-year role as Chairman of the Security Sub-Domain Committee he, in 2007, co-led the effort to adopt a state-wide security policy achieving that goal with a unanimous vote in December of 2007 while substantially progressing and completing the initiative to establish comprehensive baseline security standards for South Carolina Agencies.

  David has served as the Membership Director for the Midland’s Chapter of the ISSA, the group’s Director of Corporate Relations, and currently serves as the President for the chapter. He currently serves on the McAfee Cybersecurity Experts Council while working with standards driven organizations, like the Trusted Computing Group, to further the goals of practical, flexible, and open information security frameworks. He is also a member of the National Association of State CIO’s Security and Privacy Sub-Committee as well as the Enterprise Architecture Committee. He currently serves on the Executive Committee for the MS-ISAC as well as on Legislative Sub-Committee. In 2008 he was awarded Technologist of the Year for the South Carolina IT Director’s Association after being named an Honorable Mention for the same award in 2007.
