I was fortunate to be in Military/Federal Government service for over 30 years spending the last 17 years working in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency whose central mission is the security of our nation's critical infrastructure and working with other critical Departments and Agencies that share a similar mission such as the Department of Energy, Department of Defense, Transportation Administration, and Health and Human Services to name a few.

Our Nation's cyber and physical infrastructure underpins our national and economic security, public health, and safety, and provides the critical functions our citizens depend on in their everyday lives.

Due to the evolving threat landscape and the ever-expanding attack surface as businesses continue to automate processes and functions our critical infrastructure has become a key target set for criminal and nation state threat actors.

Advance my knowledge of AFS and its innovative capabilities and services we bring to the fight to help defend and secure our nation's critical infrastructure with a specific focus on operational technology and industrial control systems.

What do you think are the greatest critical infrastructure pain points? How have these evolved over the past few years?

Various Federal Departments and Agencies including the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community have mandates and authorities to assist critical infrastructure owners and operators secure their networks and systems.
