Ron Ritchey, Ph.D.
| I am an active researcher in the IA field and have been widely published on network security topics including co-authoring NIST 800-77 "Guide to IPSEC VPNS" and the IATAC "Insider Threat to Information Systems". My focus is on the identification and elimination of the root causes of information assurance weaknesses. I have authored courses on computer security that have been taught across the country and I am a faculty member of the SANS Institute, IANS, and George Mason University. I hold masters and bachelors degrees in computer science from George Mason and recently finished my Ph.D. in Information Technology working with Dr. Ammann. |  |
