10 Newsmakers Who Shaped Security In the Past Decade
A lot can happen in just one day in the security industry—heck, sometimes in just one hour–so consider how much has transpired over the past ten years. The headlines the year Dark Reading first went live in 2006 were everything from the Month of Browser Bugs to the arrest of a rogue insider at DuPont who downloaded his company’s intellectual property and tried to cover his tracks by burning the stolen documents in his fireplace. Behind the news were people whose actions, good and bad, still resonate (or haunt us) today.
