Lorrie Cranor has long been a leader in the privacy space. As Director and Bosch Distinguished Prof. in Security and Privacy Technologies at Carnegie Mellon's CyLab Security and Privacy Institute, Prof. Cranor is on the cutting edge of usable privacy and security. Her work has influenced researchers to view privacy as a fundamental design standard rather than an abstract ideal and has helped reshape the technology field with more than 200 co-authored research papers on online privacy and security. She has also served as chief technologist at the US Federal Trade Commission and co-founded Wombat Security Technologies, among many other initiatives.
