Dragos is the first and only industrial cybersecurity company to receive this recognition.

Lee is an active contributor to the World Economic Forum.

Lee contributed to the WEF white paper for Cyber Resilience in the Oil and Gas Industry, “Advancing Supply Chain Security in Oil and Gas: An Industry Analysis,” and published the WEF article, “Cybersecurity has much to learn from industrial safety planning.” 

ABOUT LEE:  Robert M. Lee is a recognized pioneer in the industrial cybersecurity, threat intelligence, and incident response community. He gained his start in cybersecurity as a U.S. Air Force Cyber Warfare Operations Officer tasked to the National Security Agency (NSA). There he established the first-of-its-kind ICS/SCADA cyber threat intelligence and intrusion analysis mission for the NSA to identify and analyze national threats to industrial infrastructure. Following his role at the NSA, Lee built the cybersecurity community’s first class for identifying and responding to threats targeted at ICS at the SANS Institute, the world’s largest company that specializes in information security and cybersecurity training.

Lee is routinely sought after for his advice and input into industrial threat detection and response. He has presented at major security conferences such as SANS, BlackHat, DefCon, and RSA, and has testified to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations; and the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. As a non-resident national security fellow at New America, Robert worked to inform policy related to critical infrastructure cyber security. He is regularly asked by various governments to brief national level leaders.
