Edmond Rogers was actively involved as an industry participant in many research activities in ITI’s TCIPG Center, including work on NetAPT (the Network Access Policy Tool) and LZFuzz (Proprietary Protocol Fuzzing). Rogers was a security analyst for a fortune 500 investor-owned utility, where his responsibilities included cyber security of SCADA networks. Before that, he was a security manager and network architect for a transfer agent for 43% of all mutual funds. Rogers leverages his wealth of experience to assist ITI researchers in creating laboratory conditions that closely reflect real-world configurations.
