industry honours FAME REACHES OUT INDUSTRY STALWARTS INDUCTED INTO HALL OF FAME Jeffrey Carpenter has dedicated more than 30 years to improving the state of information security. Dan Kaminsky: best known for his work finding a critical flaw in the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS). Jeffrey Carpenter and (posthumously) Dan Kaminsky are the latest to be inducted into FIRST's Incident Response Hall of Fame. They join past inductees Ian Cook, Don Stikvoort and Klaus-Peter Kossakowski. Jeffrey Carpenter has dedicated more than 30 years to improving the state of information security. In 1995, he joined the CERT Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute, initially as an incident response analyst, then five years later managing more than 50 technical individuals. He was instrumental in helping the US Department of Defence and the US Department of Homeland Security create teams to exchange incident information and indicators between government and critical infrastructure organisations. He also worked closely with the US Department of Homeland Security on the formation of US-CERT, the national computer security incident response team (CSIRT) for the United States. NATIONAL INCIDENT RESPONSE Carpenter helped many other governments and regional organisations around the world establish national incident response capabilities. He founded a successful annual conference for technical staff working for CSIRTs with national responsibility to promote collaboration among these organisations. His active involvement in the incident response community over the years has included presenting in various forums, and serving on Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) committees and working groups. He is currently the Secureworks senior director of Incident Response Consulting and Threat Intelligence. "I am humbled by this honour," said Carpenter. "This recognition also reflects the efforts of my former colleagues at the CERT Coordination Center to advance the incident response community, for I could not have had any success without them. In addition, it is a privilege to be inducted with my friend Dan Kaminsky, whose work in incident response and product security impacted so many people. We miss him dearly." INSPIRATIONAL HUMAN BEING Dan Kaminsky (1979-2021) was a noted American security researcher - best known for his work finding a critical flaw in the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) and leading what became the largest synchronised fix to the Internet infrastructure of all time in 2008. He was also known for being a great human being - helping colleagues, friends and community members attend events, working on many health apps, assisting colour-blind people, hearing aid technology and telemedicine, and fighting as a privacy rights advocate. His ethos was to do things because they were the right thing to do, not because they would elicit financial gain. Kaminsky was co-founder and chief scientist of WhiteOps (recently renamed Human) and spent his career advising several Fortune 500 companies, such as Cisco, Avaya and Microsoft on their cybersecurity. In addition, he spent three years working with Microsoft on their Vista, Server 2008 and Windows 7 releases. 6 computing security September 2021 @CSMagAndAwards www.computingsecurity.co.uk
