Aura Moore, the Chief Information Officer for Los Angeles World Airports, was selected as the Information Security Executive® of the Year Award winner for the ISE® West Region.

Aura Moore was appointed Deputy Executive Director and Chief Information Officer (CIO) for Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) in July 2016.

Moore draws from a public service career of over 20 years at agencies throughout the City of Los Angeles. Her previous positions with LAWA included Network Infrastructure Program Manager, IT Project Management Director and CIO. As CIO, Moore created the Office of Airport Technology and Business Systems, a group tasked with strengthening LAWA’s security, business and airport operations through efficiently delivering large-scale airport technology projects. Within her role as CIO, she expanded her focus to enhancing the guest experience through implementing self-service technologies and establishing partnerships designed to improve passenger processing. Moore is credited with modernizing technology infrastructure throughout the LAX campus, where she consolidated surveillance systems and expanded coverage for enhanced security and safety. She also worked to replace manual processes with new systems that have improved airport operational efficiencies.

T-Mobile’s “Identify, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM)” Project received the honor of being chosen as the ISE® West Projects of the Year.

​Dwaine Omyer, Vice President of Digital Security for T-Mobile, accepted their award on behalf of the project. ICAM provides technology leadership, guidance, and governance for identity management products and capabilities at T-Mobile. Critical business objectives include identity management maturity, scalability, technology rationalization, operational effectiveness, and cost savings through a common strong-authentication customer experience. ICAM empowers identity risk through strong management controls, authentication, privileged access management, and access governance. The project implements an Un-carrier approach to digital security through the integration of all enterprise platforms to centralize identity controls.
