Security Delivery
Specialist
(Anti-malware/Malware Subject Matter Expert)

Martin was born in a British Military Hospital in Iserlohn, West
Germany in 1964. Spent the first ten years of his life being dragged
round the world and getting schooling in increasingly exotic far
flung places. In 1988 he joined one of the UK's largest insurance
companies and has completed a number of different assignments
and until recently managed the e-commerce security team, which
involved securing and testing the e-commerce systems for the company.
This included ethical hacking, penetration testing, viruses, anti-virus
and hoaxes.
Martin now works for IBM as the Anti-Malware/Malware SME for
IBM throughout EMEA. This also involves beta testing (even more)
products, incident management and security investigations, as
well as the more usual malware related work and research.
His interest and involvement in viruses/anti-virus/security started
in 1989. His work in this area included the virus protection/strategy
for Royal & SunAlliance’s 43,000 staff for which he proposed
a multi-layered and multi-level strategy for combating viruses.
He also setup and maintained R&SA’s Intranet virus/hoax site
and was the recognised expert for the UK, Europe, Middle East
and Africa for R&SA. In March of 2002 he joined IBM.
He has frequently tested/beta-tested products for many of the
largest and most-respected security/anti-virus companies. He
also created his own set of anti-malware utilities known as ChekMate
and ChekOf, which are now no longer available due to his change
of employer. ChekWare.com was the home of those products and
also the '"Electronic Ephemera" FAQ and Reference Site'
which covered more than just virus related hoaxes.
A speaker at the 96, 97, 99, 2001,2002 and the upcoming 2003
Virus Bulletin International Conferences and CompSec '99, he
has also given presentations for the CIB (Chartered Institute
of Banking), ISACA, amongst others. Over the last two years
he has also become a contributor to the Virus Bulletin periodical.
Recently he also became a WildList Reporter and was instrumental
in setting up the UK ISS (Internet Security Systems) Independent
User Group.
His hobbies, when time allows, include reading (mainly science
fiction and science/technology books), keeping a number of bugs
(tarantulas, scorpions, and giant African land snails; and is
a member of both the British and American Tarantula Societies
with three articles published in the BTS societies' journal).
If this doesn't mark him as being weird enough, he also likes
snakes (owning a Californian Kingsnake). Finally, he also maintains
The Tarantula's Burrow website that is dedicated to arachnids
and snakes, helping others to better understand them. Oh yes,
and he does some computer programming.
Occasionally his wife and son get to see him!
