Joel Hypolite Lead Senior Information Security Engineer


Protection of


life and property is important to Joel Hypolite. At one point, he was a volunteer firefighter. He is the principal investigator of a team developing means to detect cyber attacks and to analyze attacks by botnets, or malicious software.


Hypolite’s goal


is to stop rogue programs built to infiltrate, disrupt,


or steal. In previous posts, he lead technical development in MITRE’s Cross Boundary Information Sharing Laboratory, and worked for National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency project. He has also been involved in source code analysis for the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Energy. Previously, he was a captain in the United States Air Force and responsible for the operation and maintenance of mission systems that supported the goals of the U.S. Atomic Energy Detection System and the U.S. National Data Center. MITRE operates federally funded research and development centers for the Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Ad- ministration, the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Homeland Security. In 2010, Hypolite received the Modern Day Technology


Leader Award at the BEYA Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Global Competitiveness Conference.

National Institute of Standards and Technology


Ernest McDuffie, Ph.D. Lead, National Initiative for Cyber Security Education (NICE)


The division


was created by the Obama Administra- tion in 2010 to ex- pand cyber security education programs from a federal to a national focus. This was an outgrowth of the Comprehen- sive National Cyber Security Initiative to bolster future generations of Web and digital security specialists.


McDuffie is re- sponsible for getting


the Education Department, the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the Office of Personnel Management “to work together to make the country’s computer networks more secure.” Last August, the former officer of the National Coordina- tion Office for Networking, and Information Technology Re- search and Development said NICE has an $18 million budget. A tough part of the job is always answering the question of how much cyber security is enough. McDuffie rhetorically que- ried Government Computer News: “How do you measure secure? Is your system 80 percent secure? 90 percent secure? Nothing is 100 percent secure...One of the things we’re going to be devel- oping is some kind of meaningful metrics for people to apply to their systems.”


McDuffie joined the NIST as a computer scientist in their


Information Technology Laboratory, Office of Federal and Indus- trial Relations.
