Paul Smith has spent close to 20 years in the Automation Control space, tackling the “red herring” problems. This ultimately led to the later part of his career where he has been spending most of his time in the Industrial Cybersecurity space pioneering the use of new security technology in the energy, utility, and critical infrastructure sectors, and helping develop cyber security strategies through the use of red team/pentest engagements, cybersecurity risk assessments, and tabletop exercises for some of the world’s largest government contractors, industrial organizations, and municipalities. Published author including the title “Pentesting Industrial Control Systems”.
