Today at Ignite 2014 we\u2019re celebrating an exciting milestone<\/a>: the first official honoree in our Cybersecurity Canon project.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been reading my regular Cybersecurity Canon posts<\/a>, you know what we\u2019ve been up to, which is an initiative to recognize authors and works of literature that have shaped, edified and advanced discussion of modern cybersecurity issues.<\/p>\n

Our first honoree is author and speaker Parmy Olson, a staff reporter and former London bureau chief at Forbes magazine, who wrote We Are Anonymous: Inside the Hacker World of Lulzsec, Anonymous and the Global Cyber Insurgency.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to have her here in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Parmy is the first of what we hope will be many terrific authors inducted into the Cybersecurity Canon. Over the past few months, I\u2019ve shared 20 books<\/a> \u2013 including We Are Anonymous \u2013 I feel would be good candidates for such a Canon.<\/p>\n

In the interim, we\u2019ve also formed a Cybersecurity Canon advisory board consisting of members of the community well familiar with the types of books we\u2019re looking to feature. This year\u2019s advisory board includes:<\/p>\n
