Mr. Gary J. Gagnon Vice President Center for Integrated Intelligence Systems Most recently, Mr. Gagnon was the executive director for MITRE's National Security Programs. He supported MITRE's civilian intelligence organizations, applying and integrating sound systems engineering, research and analysis, and innovative technology to address a wide range of intelligence challenges within the homeland and national security mission areas. Mr. Gagnon was previously director of MITRE's work program in cyber assurance and law enforcement. In this role, Mr. Gagnon was responsible for setting technical direction and guiding program execution in the early research, development, and analysis of threat and vulnerability assessment of critical infrastructure against cyber intrusions. With MITRE since 1986, Mr. Gagnon has held several project leadership and management positions where he concentrated on solving information security issues for a variety of Department of Defense organizations, including the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and the National Security Agency (NSA). As part of this work, he investigated technologies such as intrusion detection systems, firewall technology, computer forensics, and virtual private networks, as well as "NSA-Grade" quality security countermeasures. Mr. Gagnon has been a leader in the fields of cyber crime investigation and critical infrastructure security protection since 1998, helping pioneer investigative approaches to emerging threats. Notably, he worked with a team that formulated the technology to investigate the earliest large-scale denial of service attack in early 2000—an attack that exposed widespread Internet vulnerabilities. During the millennium roll-over, he led a team of top experts from 24 private sector companies in support of the Cyber Assurance National Information Center (NIC) for the Y2K Information Coordination Center. The Cyber Assurance NIC provided the federal government with computer intrusion and malicious code release information from the private sector. Concurrent with his Cyber Assurance NIC role, Mr. Gagnon worked with the National Infrastructure Protection Center to develop groundbreaking technologies to guard against critical infrastructure threats and attacks. Prior to joining MITRE, Mr. Gagnon worked for Harris Corporation on a variety of software development projects for the Department of Defense. He holds a bachelor's in computer science from Fitchburg State College.
