Cyber-Security Guru, Runa A. Sandvik

Former hacker, Runa A. Sandvik, now senior director of information security at The New York Times believes information security can fit into reporters’ lives seamlessly and conveniently.

She has written about encryption tools and a dark web email service for Forbes. The URL of her personal website is encrypted.cc. She once threw a CryptoParty with Edward Snowden in Hawaii.

Today, she is known for spearheading security improvements at The New York Times, including two-factor authentication for reporters, which requires an additional verification method after entering a password; a confidential page for tips from sources; secure communication methods; protection for Times subscriber accounts; and more.

There is a great profile piece about Ms. Sandvik in the New York Times. Definitely worth reading.
