  • Extensive experience delivering cybersecurity and cyber defense solutions for automation systems within large, complex organizations.
  • Strong knowledge of cyber threats and ability to tailor defense strategies to automation environments.
  • Hands-on experience applying RMF across technical projects and system lifecycles.
