Dr. Greg Shannon is chair, IEEE Cybersecurity Initiative and the Chief Scientist for the CERT(r) Division at Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute, where his role is to expand the division's research results, impact, and visibility. Outside of CERT, Shannon influences national and international research agendas by promoting data-driven science for cybersecurity. Shannon is also a co-organizer for the DIMACS and IEEE Workshop on Efficient and Scalable Cyber-security using Algorithms Protected by Electricity (ESCAPE, dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/ESCAPE<http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/ESCAPE/announcement.html>). He cofounded the Workshop on Learning from Authoritative Security Experiment Results (LASER, www.laser-workshop.org<http://www.laser-workshop.org/>).

Prior to joining CERT, Shannon was Chief Scientist at two startups working on statistical anomaly detection in sensor streams, the science of cybersecurity, and insider threats. In earlier positions, he led applied research and development in cybersecurity and data analysis at Lucent Technologies, Lumeta, Ascend Communications, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Indiana University, and his own startup company.
