Dana Foat of the National Security Agency (NSA) has joined the
Editorial Board.  Dana is the fourth representative from a US

Evaluations and Tools group, Dana has been heavily involved in
building vulnerability databases and tools that integrate
vulnerability information from multiple sources, such as vulnerability
assessment tools and security advisories.  He is, in this capacity, a
true user of CVE and CVE-compatible products - one of a very small
number on the Board at this time.  Dana has 6 years experience in
network security, conducting security assessments for Department of
Defense (DOD) customers in addition to the activities described above.
NSA, a member of the CVE Advisory Council, has been a strong supporter
of CVE since its early days.
