About
Open to senior leadership opportunities in ICS, OT, IoT, and IIoT cybersecurity. Not willing to relocate, but willing to travel.
Globally recognized thought leader with a demonstrated history of leading large diverse groups to consensus, collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, program and project management, technical research, implementation and standardization. Collaborative professional with detailed knowledge of security standards, Cybersecurity Framework, operational technology, industrial control systems and networks, robotics, IoT, IIoT and core infrastructure technologies.
Employed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) since 1989, focusing on industrial control system (ICS) security since 2000.
Pioneer thought leader in the OT/ICS cybersecurity field and the lead author of Special Publication 800-82 Guide to Industrial Control Systems Security, which provides guidance for the public and private sectors on how to secure industrial control systems while addressing their unique performance, reliability and safety requirements. NIST Special Publication 800-82 has been downloaded over 3,000,000 times, has over 1400 citations, and recent surveys show that NIST SP 800-82 is the most referenced and used OT/ICS cybersecurity document in the world.
Lead author of the Cybersecurity Framework Manufacturing Profile, NISTIR 8183 and the Cybersecurity Framework Manufacturing Profile Implementation Guide, NISTIR 8183A. These documents drive the Cybersecurity Framework to practice and enable manufacturers to select and deploy cybersecurity tools and techniques that best fit their needs while addressing the demanding system operational performance, reliability, and safety requirements.
Contributed significant technical input to NIST SP 800-53, ISA99, IEC 62443 and NERC CIP security standards.
During my career, I have received two Department of Commerce Gold Medals, the highest honorary award given by the Department, two Department of Commerce Bronze Medals, the highest honorary award given by NIST, and the Gov30 Top Security Professionals Award.
I hold a Masters degree in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University and a Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland.
