Mr. Reed has been a developer on a defensive cyber software program
for several years and was also the lead developer on a research and
development offensive cyber capability. Mr. Reed has worked as a
penetration tester and information assurance specialist, testing Cross
Domain Systems (CDS) for the Integration Test and Evaluation Center
(ITEC) at AFRL-Rome. His work has greatly benefited the test team by

alternate channels for getting malware through a file transfer CDS and
modification of network packets in an effort to exploit the network stack.
