Crispin Cowan was the CTO and founder of Immunix, Inc., recently acquired by Novell. Dr. Cowan now works as a security architect for Novell with respect to security for the Linux platform and applications that Novell offers for Linux, and with particular attention to the AppArmor product that came with the Immunix acquisition. Dr. Cowan developed several host security/survivability technologies under DARPA funding, including prominent technologies like the StackGuard compiler defense against buffer overflows.
