When it comes to security, Keever is a good person to call. In addition to implementing vulnerability management, PCI encryption and other tools to detect and respond to threats, she’s conducted phishing training at awareness campaigns at Cox. A techie at heart, Keever enjoys learning how things work and fixing things—all while balancing life with three teens. Perhaps that helps explain why HGTV “Fixer Upper” star Joanna Gaines is her favorite female on TV. “She takes what is old and worn and works collaboratively with others to change them into something beautiful and valuable while managing a family all at the same time,” she says.
