Scott has nearly 20 years of experience in the security and technology field. He began his career in information security as a charter member of the Air Force Information Warfare Center, pioneering tools and techniques for automated vulnerability assessment and incident response. Later, as co-founder of WheelGroup, Scott created and led the Security Posture Assessment team in building professional services to bootstrap development of WheelGroup's intrusion detection system (IDS) product. As a result of the team’s ability to demonstrate successful network-penetration techniques, WheelGroup appeared on the cover of Fortune Magazine in February 1997. Soon after, WheelGroup was acquired by Cisco, where Scott went on to champion hardware acceleration for the IDS product line before moving on to explore new investment and consulting opportunities. In 2002, he rejoined Cisco with the Global Defense & Space Group where he led cross-functional teams to release a new intrusion prevention product. Before joining iovation in 2008, Scott worked as a research engineer with Cisco’s Critical Infrastructure Assurance Group, developing tools and architectures to improve CI security. Scott holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Yale University and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University. He is also co-inventor on four U.S. patents. |
