                     | Chey Cobb began her career in information security while at the National Computer Security Association (now known as TruSecure/ICSA
                        Labs). 
                        During her tenure as the NCSA award-winning Webmaster she realized that Web servers often created security holes in networks
                        and became an 
                        outspoken advocate of systems' security. Later, while developing secure networks for the Air Force in Florida, her work 
                        captured the attention of the U.S. intelligence agencies. Chey moved to Virginia and began working for the government as the
                        
                        senior technical security advisor on highly classified projects. Ultimately she went on to manage the security program at
                        an 
                        overseas site. Chey is now semi-retired and writes books and articles on computer security and is a frequent speaker at security
                        conferences. |
