Parsons Joins Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology

PASADENA, CA (June 9, 2016) – Parsons is pleased to announce that the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT) has formally welcomed the corporation to the ICIT Fellows Program. Parsons—a technology-driven engineering services firm with deep knowledge of infrastructure and cybersecurity—expands the Institute’s expertise in both these areas. The firm will be represented by Fellows Biff Lyons, Executive Vice President and Manager of the Federal Defense and Security Division; Josh Salmanson, Senior Business Development Director within the Defense and Security Division; and Juan Espinosa, Senior Project Manager.

Dr. Lyons participated as a panelist at Parsons’ inaugural ICIT event, the Critical Infrastructure Forum: Resiliency and Enablement, held April 25, 2016, in Arlington, VA. The discussion focused on the topic “Security in a Connected World: SmartCities, Transportation & Internet Enabled Devices” and featured other industry thought leaders including Artlette Hart (CISO, FBI) and Jerry Davis (CIO, NASA Ames Research Center).

Parsons also supported a recent ICIT/National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) briefing on the draft revisions of NIST Special Publication 800-160: Systems Security Engineering. Dr. Lyons helped introduce Dr. Ron Ross, a NIST Fellow and one of the primary authors of 800-160. For the full article click here
