Roger Jefferiss

Unique SCADA Security Specialist

Roger started in security as an Application and SCADA Security Manager for EDF Energy. He acquired a near-unique set of skills, given his responsibility to test the security of- and look after the real time systems in a major utility.

Whilst at EDF, he sat on the SCADA Control Systems Information Exchange (SCSIE), the CPNI industry exchange, where one could discuss details of incidents across the utility sector in confidence. Hence, he has an almost unique understanding of utility sector security.
In 2006 Roger left EDF to join a penetration testing business. Since then, he has been delivering penetration tests full time.
