NSA Director Wolf Keynotes SELinux Symposium

Daniel G. Wolf, director of the Information Assurance Directorate at the National Security Agency (NSA) will be the keynote speaker at the inaugural Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) Symposium, scheduled for March 2-4 in Silver Spring, Md.

Mr. Wolf has worked for 37 years in a variety of technical and analytic organizations within NSA. His Information Assurance Directorate ensures, through ongoing contact with NSA’s customers, that the Information Assurance (IA) programs of the NSA continue to evolve to meet the challenges of their current and future requirements for secure communications and networks, providing IA technical consulting services and high assurance products to the nation. The NSA originally developed and publicly released SELinux as a foundation for incorporating high-end security access controls features into mainstream open source technology.
