These engagements in-clude compliance analysis, design, and deployment of security for: SCADA, energy management systems (EMS), plant control, substation protection and measurement, and utility telecommu-nications. Mr. Kimmelman works with his customers to de-velop governance programs, define policy, determine strategy, review application software and perform threat assess-ments. Some of the clients he has worked with include very large regional and municipal U.S. electric utilities, as well as the U.S. Department of Energy.

Prior to founding Network & Security Technologies, Mr. Kim-melman shaped direction and provided technical oversight as a Principal Consultant for Vigilinx Digital Security Solutions. While there, he worked with a variety of clients in several in-dustries, including energy utilities, manufacturing, marketing and financial services. He developed strategies, defined policy, designed solutions and lead deployment teams on several suc-cessful engagements. He provided similar services while work-ing for Baltimore Technologies, where he was Director of Secu-rity Consulting Services, a role he also held with the GTE Global Professional Services Group.

Mr. Kimmelman came to GTE when it purchased BBN, the company with which he began his career. Beginning in 1982, he developed advanced sensor and control software for underwater acoustic data analysis and display systems. These collected data from multiple, remote arrays, and required secure manipulation of this sensitive, classified information. Mr. Kimmelman also worked in the field of wide-area networking. He designed and lead development of performance analysis tools for the man-agement of public, private and classified data networks. He then defined the software architecture for the US DoD DMS testbed, a secure electronic mail product based on digital certificate technology.
