Welcome to Window Snyder!
Window has joined MozCorp recently as our new "Chief Security Something" (that's a working title :-)). She'll be the public voice of Mozilla Corporation on security issues and helping to drive our long-term security strategy.
As you can see from her background below at Microsoft, @stake, and Matansano, she is an amazing person and a great asset to Mozilla. We've been looking for someone with the right mix of technical ability, communication skills, and shared values with Mozilla for this role - and we are lucky to have Window on our side. She's been an advocate for open and transparent security process - which is something we believe in deeply here at Mozilla. She'll be working closely with everyone in the project, especially Dan, Chris, and Jesse, to continue to push our advantage on security and make sure we are doing the right thing for end users.
Welcome Window!
Window was most recently a principal, founder, and Chief Technology Officer at Matasano Security, a security services and product company based in New York City.
Prior to joining Matasano, Window was a senior security strategist at Microsoft in the Security Engineering and Communications organization. She managed the relationships between security consulting companies and the Microsoft product teams and the outreach strategy for security vendors and security researchers. Previously she was responsible for security sign-off for Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003.
Prior to her time at Microsoft she was Director of Security Architecture at @stake and is co-author of Threat Modeling, a manual for understanding risk in applications.
