Conducting cyber mission dependency, criticality, mission failure, and adversary cyberattack scenario analyses to inform design of OT resilient architectures.
Researching, developing, operationalizing, evaluating, and improving OT defensive tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) for detecting and responding to cyber threats.
Using MITRE ATT&CK® and ATT&CK for ICS to build detection capability and to support hunting the adversary in OT environments.
Researching and developing OT Cyber Resiliency solutions including developing and operationalizing OT/ICS SCADA cyber defense architectures.
Performing forensics analysis of OT devices to support cyber incident analysis.
