- Worked in cybersecurity.
- Too early a death from too rare a cause.
- Translation: “brain” cancer; too “smart” for his own good.

RIP, Howard — blazed a trail for our profession in government, “dot coms”, and larger industry groups.

Very sad. I worked with him many moons ago during the PCIS and CIAO days. He was a class act.

About Bruce Schneier
I am a public-interest technologist, working at the intersection of security, technology, and people. I've been writing about security issues on my blog since 2004, and in my monthly newsletter since 1998. I'm a fellow and lecturer at Harvard's Kennedy School, a board member of EFF, and the Chief of Security Architecture at Inrupt, Inc. This personal website expresses the opinions of none of those organizations.
