He is recognized for raising awareness of critical computer and network security issues before the risks were widely understood, and for ground-breaking work on the economics of security. Geer is currently the chief information security officer for In-Q-Tel, a not-for-profit venture capital firm that invests in technology to support the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2003, Geer's 24-page report entitled \"CyberInsecurity: The Cost of Monopoly\" was released by the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA). The paper argued that Microsoft's dominance of desktop computer operating systems is a threat to national security. Geer was fired (from consultancy @Stake) the day the report was made public. Geer has cited subsequent changes in the Vista operating system (notably a location-randomization feature) as evidence that Microsoft \"accepted the paper.\" Geer received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, where he was a member of the Theta Deuteron charge of Theta Delta Chi fraternity. He also received a Sc.D. in biostatistics from Harvard, and has worked for: \n* Health Sciences Computing Facility, Harvard School of Public Health \n* Project Athena, MIT \n* Digital Equipment Corporation \n* Geer Zolot & Associates \n* OpenVision Technologies \n* Open Market \n* Certco \n* @stake (acquired by Symantec in November 2004) \n* Verdasys In 2011, Geer received the USENIX Lifetime Achievement Award."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
