Vern Paxson Featured in Search Security

^{May 23, 2007}
Vern Paxson of ICSI's Networking Group was featured in an article by Dennis Fisher on Search Security, "Eyeing unnoticed security researchers", which profiles six security experts who are making significant contributions to the field. Paxson is described as the "baseball umpire" of Internet security, because "if things are running smoothly, you'll never even know he's there". Paxson's work to keep the Internet running smoothly, particularly with regard to early detection and prevention of worm outbreaks, is what puts him on this short list of security experts.
