  • Eugene H. Spafford
    Eugene H. Spafford is one of the most senior cyber security researchers in the field. During his 30+ years in computing— including 29 years as a faculty member at Purdue University -- Spaf (as he is widely known) has worked on issues in privacy, public policy, law enforcement, software engineering, education, social networks, operating systems, and cyber security. He has been involved in the development of fundamental technologies in intrusion detection, incident response, firewalls, integrity management, and forensic investigation. His interests range over these and many other areas, and this has been one of the factors behind his leadership of CERIAS, the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security. In that role, he continues to be a polymathic futurist, although some view him as simply an iconoclastic crank.
  • Robert Schou
    Dr. Schou is the director of the National Information Assurance Training and Education Center (NIATEC) and the Simplot Decision Support Center (SDSC). These are two key components of the Informatics Research Institute. In 1996, the Simplot Decision Support Center center was cited by the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) for Outstanding Contributions to the Profession. Under his leadership, the Information Systems program was designated the National Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education His research and publication interests include information security and privacy, ethics, collaborative decision making, the impact of technology on organization structure, and the application of technology to managerial decision making. His work has resulted inover 200 monographs, books articles and formal presentations. Using collaborative tools he designed for curriculum development, he compiled and edited computer security training materials and standards for the Department of Defense and the National Institute of Standards. These have now been adopted across the federal government.
