| dbo:abstract | Edward G. Amoroso is an American computer security professional, entrepreneur, author, and educator based in the New York City area. His research interests have centered on techniques and criteria for measuring trustworthy software development. the application of these methods to secure software development for critical projects in the defense and aerospace industries, and redefining trust parameters for improved security in the cloud. Early on in his career, he was involved with the design of security protections for the Unix operating system in support of the US Government Orange Book security evaluation criteria. This research lead to real-time security design and trusted software protections for the United States Ballistic Missile Defense Program, also known as Star Wars. He has also pioneered concepts related to microsegmentation, a design strategy that allows for the creation of secure zones in data centers and cloud deployments. During his thirty-one years at AT&T, Amoroso held a variety of research, development, engineering, management, and leadership roles within the company, culminating in 2005 when he became the company's first Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).Outside of the job, his contributions to the emerging cybersecurity industry include numerous articles, interviews, talks, and videos, as well as six books addressing such topics as internet and intranet firewall strategies, intrusion detection, and the protection of large-scale national, critical infrastructure. After retirement from A&T in 2016, Amoroso founded TAG Cyber LLC with a goal to “democratize cyber security analysis” by providing greater access to “high-quality, military grade analysis that larger firms pay millions for." The primary vehicle used to meet this goal is the Security Annual, a document available for free by download to enterprise security experts. The document includes research on fifty cybersecurity controls, as well as listings for thousands of commercial cybersecurity vendors. As a member of the National Security Agency (NSA) Advisory Board (NSAAB), Amoroso worked directly with four Presidential administrations on issues related to national security, critical infrastructure protection, and cyber policy. In 2020, Business Insider tapped him as one of the country’s fifty leaders “who helped lead the cyber security industry through an unprecedented and tumultuous year.” (en) |
