Press and Media Coverage
Some of my publications resonated enormously in the community and press.
I gave interviews for print and online media alike and spoke on radio (BBC World news - Digital Planet, Deutschlandfunk, etc.).
My most favorite papers (Insecurity Iceberg and 0-Day Patch Metric) were readily translated into more than a dozen languages and commented on several blogs.
I am aware of reports in German, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Portugese, Hungarian, Polish, Dutch, Hebrew, Finnish, Russian, and French.
