David Balenson of Network Associates, Inc. (NAI) has joined the CVE
Editorial Board.  The presence of NAI on the Board broadens the scope
of CVE as applied to security tools.  David's expertise in
cryptography will help us in the future when the Board considers
cryptographic-related vulnerabilities and other security issues for
inclusion in CVE.  As a manager in the security research division of
NAI, he will be able to articulate a commercial perspective of
security-related research.  Below is a short bio:
