A cyber security practitioner and thinker for 30 years and a Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Mark Graff is currently Founder and CEO at Tellagraff, LLC. He is an expert Chief Information Security Officer, having filled that role for NASDAQ for three years, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for nine. He has appeared as an expert witness on cybersecurity before both Congress and the Presidential Commission on Infrastructure Survivability, and served as an expert witness on, for example, electronic voting machine software for the state of California.

Graff’s 2003 book, “Secure Coding: Principles and Practices” (co-authored with Ken van Wyk), has been used at dozens of universities around the world to teach how to design and build secure software-based systems. Graff and van Wyk teamed again to produce “Enterprise Security Software: a Confluence of Disciplines” with two new co-authors in 2014.
