THOUGHT LEADERS

摘要

The most popular phrase to come out of the Spider-Man stories -"With great power, comes great responsibility" - hit close to home for Joshua Corman, CTO at Sonatype, who longed to be a superhero at a young age, but settled for being a protector in the IT security world. Corman believes that great power comes from protecting technology. Exposed to technologies at a young age by his father - whom he cites as an inspiration -Corman s interest grew into a successful career where he is considered a respected innovator. Prior to joining Sonatype he held prominent positions at Akamai Technologies, The 451 Group and IBM Internet Security Systems. In addition to his work at Sonatype, he's on the adjunct faculty for Carnegie Mellon's Heinze College, LANS Research and he is a fellow at the Ponemon Institute. Most recently, one of Corman's proudest achievements is co-founding I Am The Cavalry, an information security lobbying group that focuses on issues where technologies may impact public safety, such as the automotive industry's increasing move to make cars more connected. "As a father and citizen of the world, I am doing my best to cause these conversations and innovations with the public, public policy and the affected industries to ensure that this dependence we place on technology remains worthy of that trust," Corman says. "I founded I Am The Cavalry because as our statement says, 'Our dependence on connected technology is growing faster than our ability to secure it.'"
