FRED COHEN

Fred Cohen is best known as the inventor of computer viruses and virus defense techniques. But his work on information protection extends far beyond the computer virus realm. In the 1970s he designed network protocols for secure digital networks carrying voice, video, and data; and he helped develop and prototype the electronic cashwatch for implementing personal digital money systems. In the 1980s, he developed integrity mechanisms for secure operating systems, consulted for many major corporations, taught short courses in information protection to over 10,000 students worldwide, and in 1989, he won the prestigious International Information Technology Award for his work on integrity protection. In the first half of the 1990s, he developed protection testing and audit techniques and systems, secure Internet servers and systems, and defensive information warfare techniques and systems. All told, the protection techniques he pioneered are now used in more than three quarters of all the computers in the world.

Fred has authored over 120 invited, refereed, and other scientific and management research articles, writes a monthly column for Network Security magazine on managing network security, and has written several widely read books on information protection. His latest book, Protection and Security on the Information Superhighway, describes hundreds of vulnerabilities and incidents, uses case studies to examine how organizations protect themselves, and has been widely acclaimed.

WINN SCHWARTAU

One of the country's leading experts on information security, infrastructure protection and electronic privacy is often referred to as "the civilian architect of information warfare." He coined the term "Electronic Pearl Harbor" and was the Project Lead of the Manhattan Cyber Project Information Warfare and Electronic Civil Defense Team. Today, he balances his time between writing, lecturing, building corporate and national security awareness programs and consulting.

JIM CHRISTY

Special Agent Jim Christy was the Director of Computer Crime Investigations and Information Warfare, Headquarters, Air Force Office of Special Investigations (Bolling AFB, Washington, D.C.) for 11 years. Jim spent 20 months at FBI Headquarters as the DoD's Representative to the President's Infrastructure Protection Task Force (IPTF) which was responsible for protecting the nation's critical infrastructure from both physical and cyber threats. Prior to the IPTF, Jim was detailed to Senator Sam Nunn's staff on the Senate, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, to investigate the vulnerability and the threat to National Information Infrastructure from computer intrusions.

Jim Christy is well known as the original case agent in the "Hanover Hacker" case, which involved a group of German hackers electronically penetrating DoD computer systems all over the world and then selling the information to the Soviet KGB. This case has been detailed in the best seller, "The Cuckoo's Egg", by Dr. Cliff Stoll and in a docu-drama produced by the Public Broadcast System.

He is also known for helping to develop a technique that lead to the recovery of 85-95% of data from two floppy diskettes that had been cut into 23 pieces with pinking shears. The recovered data from the diskette proved critical as evidence during a 1991 murder case. The suspect, when confronted with the evidence, confessed, pled guilty, and was sentenced to life in prison. This case was profiled on the "New Detectives" series on the Discovery Channel.
