Ryan McLiverty, cyber intelligence analyst at the Vermont Intelligence Center, has received a citation for Excellence in the Field of Cyber Protection from the National Network of Fusion Centers.
Vermont Intelligence Center leadership nominated McLiverty for the award in recognition of his overall work to enhance cybersecurity in Vermont and his specific focus on topics including election support, incident reporting and intelligence sharing; weekly cyber threat reporting; and engaging with new partners.
McLiverty holds a bachelor's degree in administration of justice and a master’s degree in homeland security studies, both from Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island.
“Ryan has spent the last three years building a cyber security program in a small state with limited resources,” VIC leaders wrote in their nomination. “In doing so, he has built a reputation in the state and in the Fusion Center Network as a knowledgeable, inquisitive and amicable cyber partner who is not only always willing to assist but is one of the first calls stakeholders make when assessing or mitigating a cyber-related incident.”
