“For years, software and hardware makers were
able to rely on security by obscurity. There was no
upside to building in this quality all the way through
the product because nobody was asking questions.
Now, though, people are definitely asking, and
it is time for the leadership HP is providing. HP’s
investment in security in depth is a testament to
the company’s ongoing commitment to building
quality solutions. It’s an honor to be bringing an
outside perspective to this initiative as HP continues
to assess the threat landscape and prioritize security
across product lines.” Justine Bone is the CEO of MedSec, a
company specializing in cybersecurity
for medical devices and the health
care domain. She began her career
doing reverse engineering and
vulnerability research at New
Zealand’s version of the U.S. National
Security Agency before running her
own ethical hacking company for a
few years. She also has experience as
a CISO for companies like Bloomberg
L.P. and Dow Jones.
“When initially approached to join the SAB, I
immediately saw the potential to assist one of the
largest PC and print manufacturers in the world
to make a real impact and help reduce the threat
surface. As you know, attackers are placing a major
emphasis on compromising endpoints as the weakest
link in most corporate environments, and HP has
very interesting technology and a roadmap that will
help organizations and individuals really improve
their security posture. As an example, HP’s focus on
helping organizations achieve cyber-resilience with
technologies like HP Sure Start definitely resonates
with the need I am seeing in the world right now.” Robert Masse is a national partner
in the cyber practice. With over 20
years of experience in cybersecurity,
he’s built a reputation as a pragmatic
security executive.
“Having worked with HP to consult and educate on
the cyber-threat landscape, I was excited to help set
up a new Security Advisory Board to take things to
the next level. I was inspired by HP’s commitment
to look at different angles to create more secure
products. Helping to establish and chair this board
was a natural fit for me and enables all of us to team
up and advocate how to improve security together.
The board is not a symbolic gesture; there are no
smoke and mirrors here. The members I assembled
are there to offer the best advice and input that
we possibly can for HP, to really help develop the
most secure products that will impact the world and
address a degrading threat landscape.” Michael Calce became publicly known
as “Mafiaboy” when, in 2000 at the
age of 15 he unleashed a massive
cyberattack that brought down
Yahoo!, eBay and Amazon. It led to
an FBI manhunt and $1.7 billion in
economic fallout. Since then, Michael
has reformed and made a career in
cybersecurity consulting and education
on the threat landscape. He is the
award-winning author of the book
“Mafiaboy: How I Cracked the
Internet and Why It’s Still Broken.”
