Infosecurity Europe will today recognise Shlomo Kramer and Mikko Hypponen with 'Hall of Fame' medals of honour for their work in the information security world, in London.
The medals have been presented to highly renowned speakers over the past five years, and are voted for by fellow industry professionals.
Kramer is the CEO and a founder of Imperva. Prior to that, he co-founded Check Point Software Technologies, in 1993. He has participated as an early investor and board member in a number of security and enterprise software companies, including Palo Alto Networks, Trusteer, WatchDox, Lacoon Security, TopSpin Security, SkyFence, Worklight, Incapsula and SumoLogic.
"I am delighted to have been chosen by Infosecurity for the "Hall of Fame" in 2013; it's a great honour to be recognised for the work that I have done in the IT security industry as a founder of companies such as Check Point and Imperva," says Kramer.
"I love nothing more than creating and fostering successful enterprise IT-focused businesses and will continue to put my energy into combating the ever-increasing onslaught from the cyber-criminal world."
Hypponen is the chief research officer at F-Secure, in Finland. He has been working in the field of computer security for over 20 years and has fought the biggest virus outbreaks on the Internet. He is also a columnist for the New York Times, Wired, CNN and BBC. His TED Talk on computer security has been seen by over a million people and has been translated into more than 35 languages. He also sits on the advisory boards of the ISF and the Lifeboat Foundation.
"I've worked in the industry for 22 years and haven't had a boring day yet. I'm honoured to be inducted to the Hall of Fame," says Hypponen. "The enemy is changing all the time, so we must keep up."
