InfoWorld
selected its Top 25 Chief Technology Officers for 2004 based on evidence of
leadership during the economic downturn and support of special projects and
innovations. Results appeared in the January 26 edition of InfoWorld and are

. "Innovation
does not occur in a vacuum," said Steve Fox, InfoWorld editor-in-chief.
"It is the result of vision, expertise, and applied creativity. This
year's CTO 25 award winners provided leadership to their companies and the
industry during a difficult period, and they continue to lead during the
recovery." Ben-Itzhak
has over 15 years experience in research and development with a major focus
on the security marketplace. Through his achievements in founding KaVaDo and
participation in market advancing committees, Ben-Itzhak is recognized as an
industry leader. He is a key contributor to the VulnXML project sponsored by
OWASP and an active member of the OASIS Web Application Security (WAS)
Technical Committee, which is developing standards for clear classification
and impact assessment of application threats. At
KaVaDo, Ben-Itzhak manages the design, development, and production of the
security software suite - Web application firewall InterDo and Web
application scanner ScanDo. By intercepting and securing incoming and
outgoing Internet traffic, KaVaDo products proactively define acceptable
behavior with respect to Web application use, rather than reactively
targeting patterns and signatures that require continuous updates.
Additionally, KaVaDo is the first to provide seamless integration
capabilities between the Web application firewall and scanner products to
exchange attributes and create an optimized positive-security policy. "The
opportunities for CTOs to create tangible business impact are ever increasing
and changing - and that's very exciting indeed," said Yuval Ben-Itzhak,
co-founder and CTO of KaVaDo. "The evolving and growing role of the CTO
inspires me to push the envelope in terms of security leadership, technical
innovation, and real-world solutions." Each year, InfoWorld honors IT executives who have shown leadership both inside and outside of their companies. Nominations are reviewed by the InfoWorld's CTO Advisory Council, which makes recommendations to InfoWorld editors for final selection. (ma) KaVaDo Contact:
