About the Technical Reviewers

Scott Bradley is a network engineer dedicated to customer success. He began building knowledge and experience in Cisco technology more than 15 years ago when he first started in the Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Over time, thousands of customers have been assisted by his knowledge of internetworking in routing, switching, and security, and his ability to provide network design, implementation, and troubleshooting service. Scott has enjoyed being an escalation resource to the Catalyst and Nexus switching group, a technical trainer, and an early field trial software and hardware tester.

Currently, he is an active member of the Applied Security Intelligence Team, testing security-related software and hardware and writing applied mitigation bulletins and white papers. He works closely with the Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT), consulting on security advisories.

Scott lives with his wife, Cathy, in Santa Cruz, California, where he enjoys gardening, hiking, and riding bicycles.
