For this project, <br />we will organize existing materials (Guidance and Use Case Tool) for use in <br />workshops. Each workshop will feature interactive discussions and activities <br />that demonstrate how to specifically apply the content to address the needs of <br />the participants attending the workshop. The workshops will include tailored <br />content for operators and managers at small to medium-sized water utilities <br />(serving < 10,000 population) with limited internal capacity. <br />SCADA Cybersecurity Assessment, City of Galt, CA: Conducted an <br />assessment of the current cybersecurity posture of the City's SCADA system <br />and subsequent evaluation of the system using the AW WA Cybersecurity <br />Guidance Tool. The scope of work includes site visits and development <br />of as -is documentation, and prioritized recommendations for addressing <br />vulnerabilities. <br />Education/Training/Certifications <br />• Cisco Certified Network <br />Associate (CCNA), Routing and <br />Switching, Security, Cisco ID No. <br />CSCO12375337 <br />• GIAC GPEN (Penetration Testing) <br />• SANS SEC560, Network <br />Penetration Testing and Ethical <br />Hacking <br />• Red Tiger Security, Securing ICS/ <br />SCADA Systems <br />• Department of Homeland Security, <br />21 OW — Cybersecurity for <br />Industrial Control Systems <br />Professional Qualifications <br />• Virtualization: VMWare <br />• Storage Systems: NetApp, IBM <br />• Network: Cisco, F5 <br />• Power/UPS Systems: APC <br />Symmetra <br />• Operating Systems: Linux, <br />Windows, Mac <br />• Open Source Tools: Nagios, <br />Metasploit, Wireshark, etc. <br />• Databases: MySQL, DB2, Oracle, <br />SQL Server <br />• Web servers: Apache, Tomcat, <br />IIS, Weblogic <br />• Scripting: Various scripting <br />languages <br />
