Scouting report
Was an information security officer at Yahoo before founding WhiteHat Security in 2001, where continuous scanning of thousands of production sites produced the first credible public statistics on how long real web vulnerabilities actually stay open. Co-founded the Web Application Security Consortium, and co-authored XSS Attacks: Cross Site Scripting Exploits and Defense in 2007 — the book that turned cross-site scripting from a curiosity into a class of bug developers were expected to know.
Curator’s note
The XSS book is still the reference. Web appsec became a discipline on his watch.
