Dan DiMase (Daniel.DiMase@Honeywell.com) of Honeywell will present on Cyber Physical Systems Security, a Systems Engineering Perspective at the CALCE SMTA conference at College Park, Maryland on June 24th.
Abstract:
As our infrastructure, economy, and national defense increasingly rely upon cyberspace and information technology, the security of the systems that support these functions becomes more critical. Recent proclamations from the White House, Department of Defense, and elsewhere have called for increased resilience in our cyber capabilities. The growth of cyber threats extends well beyond the traditional areas of security managed by Information Technology software. The new cyber threats are introduced through vulnerabilities in infrastructures and industries supporting IT capital and operations. These vulnerabilities drive establishment of the area of cyber-physical systems security. Cyber-physical systems security integrates security into a wide range of interdependent computing systems and adjacent systems architectures. However, the concept of cyber-physical system security is poorly understood, and the approach to manage vulnerabilities is fragmented. As cyber-physical systems security is better understood, it will require a risk management framework that includes an integrated approach across physical, information, cognitive, and social domains to ensure resilience. The expanse of the threat environment will require a systems engineering approach to ensure wider, collaborative resiliency. Approaching cyber-physical system security through the lens of resilience will enable the application of both integrated and targeted security measures and policies that ensure the continued functionality of critical services provided by our cyber infrastructure.
Bio:
Dan DiMase is the Director of Compliance and Quality at Honeywell International Inc, working in the counterfeit parts prevention team for the Aerospace strategic business group. He has primary responsibility for mitigating the severe and growing threat that counterfeit parts and cyber-physical systems security vulnerabilities pose to Honeywell Aerospace's highly diversified business operations. He is involved in implementing internal policies and procedures to mitigate counterfeit and cyber risks and manages customer and regulatory concerns. He participates in standards development activities to develop and deploy industry best practices and procedures for avoidance and detection of suspect counterfeit electronic parts and cyber vulnerabilities. He also contributes in site and supplier audits for Honeywell. He has worked on the NASA Contract Assurance Services team assisting NASA centers become compliant to the NASA EEE Parts Policy and the SAE AS5553 standard for mitigating counterfeit electronic parts.
Dan DiMase is an active participant in SAE International's G-19 Counterfeit Electronic Parts Document Development group. He is chairman of the Test Laboratory Standards Development committee, co-chairman of the Distributor Process Rating committee, and actively participates on the Counterfeit Electronic Parts standard development committee for distributors. He has been active in the executive committee of the Aerospace Industry Association's Counterfeit Parts Integrated Projects Team. He is on the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection Advisory Committee on Commercial Operations of CBP in the Intellectual Property Rights subcommittee. He received a special recognition award at the DMSMS and Standardization 2011 Conference for his leadership role in mitigating counterfeit parts.
Mr. DiMase has over 20 years of industry experience, previously serving in leadership positions as president of SemiXchange, Inc. and ERAI. He is a results-oriented leader proficient in supply-chain, operations and finance, with cross functional expertise in numerous areas, including international logistics, global sourcing, risk management, and strategic planning. He has a Six-Sigma Green Certificate from Bryant University. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from The University of Rhode Island. He has an Executive MBA from Northeastern University.
