2 Presenters Dan Belmont Senior Principal Dan Belmont Background 20 years in industry related engineered technology and telecommunications products sales, marketing, business and market development Other Related Experiences Vice President and Founder of wireless broadband company that designed, financed, developed and grew a 30 tower 3000 endpoint Motorola Canopy wireless broadband network throughout the Chicago suburban market Key contributor to Smart Grid Utility initiatives through assessment, business case, vendor relationships, RFP design and development, project management and deployment for over 30 vendors and 4 separate RFPs at a major Midwest utility Papers & Presentations Smart Grid IP Communications Network: A NERC/CIP Compliant MPLS Approach Utilimetrics Autovation Denver, CO September2009 The Smart Grid Journey Create Your Smart Grid Assessment Profile S- GAP West Monroe Partners Newsletter August 2009 Smart Grid Stimulus and IP Communications Technology Webinar with Alcatel-Lucent May 2009 Creating a NERC/CIP Compliant Smart Grid IP Communications Network West Monroe Partners White Paper February

3 Presenters Michael Manske Security Principal Michael Manske Background With a focus on network design and security, Michael brings over 10 years of experience providing variety of technologies including networking hardware and software, security, voice over IP, and client/server software solutions. Related Experiences Completed Cyber Security Plans required by the Department of Energy (DOE) for five grant winners. The DOE has approved and accepted all five Cyber Security Plans Led the requirements gathering for an IP/MPLS microwave backbone communications network mobile voice, mobile data, and data collection for 500,000 AMI meters covering an area of 6,000 square miles. These requirements were centered around the network remaining NERC/CIP compliant and the exercise ultimately led to the creation of a NERC/CIP Security Handbook. Key Relevant Skills Cisco CCSP (Cisco Certified Security Professional) CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional) Extensive knowledge of cyber security requirements, particularly around NERC/CIP and NIST requirements Extensive experience with MPLS routing and IP design. 3
