Rich is a lifelong veteran of the information security wars. His introduction came in the late 1980s when the ARPANET network he was responsible for at his part-time college job went down because of an insecure default configuration (/.rhost anyone?). Since then, he has helped create security products as diverse as network access control and full disk encryption and has worked in network security at companies such as Cisco, Extreme Networks, Symantec, and Aruba Networks. When not trying to save the world, or blogging about it, he is an avid cyclist.
