How Zero Trust Architecture Protects Facilities from Digital Threats  

Mr. Daryl Haegley's distinguished career includes over 30 years of military, federal, civilian and commercial consulting experience. In his last assignment within the Office of the Principal Cyber Advisor to the Secretary of Defense, his role encompassed overseeing strategic DOD cyber efforts to protect the control systems and operational technology. Significant accomplishments include leading a multi-Federal Department coordination and writing of the report to the President addressing control systems skills and training gaps and drafting the Department's Control Systems Cyber Defense Reference Architecture. In his current role, Technical Director-Control Systems Cyber Resilience, Department of the Air Force, he serves as the senior Air Force and Space Force expert providing policy and technical oversight for Air and Space Force world-wide operations dependent upon critical infrastructure control systems. Mr. Haegley is readily recognized as the Department's leading champion in bringing awareness to the control system cyber threats.

Mr. Beall, a cybersecurity researcher and project manager at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) serves as a subject matter expert in control system cybersecurity. Currently leading multiple project teams, he is dedicated to rapidly advancing control system cyber defense to secure our nations critical infrastructure. Since joining JHU/APL in 2017, Mr. Beall has established a state-of-the-art control system laboratory, pioneered the development of novel out-of-band communication methods, and led the development of network enumeration and anomaly detection capabilities for Navy Hull, Mechanical & Electrical systems. His research has focused on enhancing cyber operator decision support through the utilization of machine learning and has applied the MOSAICS framework to deploy cyber situational awareness capabilities, within local operational water and building automation facilities. Mr. Beall has a M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Johns Hopkins University , and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland.
