Matthew co-founded three companies in control system cybersecurity: Encari, which guided North American power grid operators through NERC CIP; Dragos Security, where he helped create CyberLens for OT asset discovery; and CYBATI, the cyber-physical security training company later acquired by IntelliGenesis.
Earlier, he served as an information security engineer and architect at Argonne National Laboratory. A longtime SANS Institute certified instructor and now Lead Research Scientist for Education Translation at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Information Trust Institute, he has trained more than 9,000 professionals across government, utilities, and industry.
