MICHAEL CALCE
Having worked with HP to consult and educate on the cyber-
threat landscape, I was excited to help set up a new HP
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 is 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.

a real impact and help reduce the threat surface. As you
know, attackers are placing a major emphasis on compro-

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

am seeing in the world right now.
JUSTINE BONE
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 in-depth investment in security is a testament to the
company’s ongoing commitment to building quality solu-
tions. 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.
