§ Since 2012

Fourteen Years of Honoring the People Who Built Cybersecurity.

The Cyber Security Hall of Fame® was founded in 2012 by Larry Letow and Rick Geritz in Baltimore, Maryland. Its mission is to honor the innovative individuals and organizations that created the fundamental building blocks of the cybersecurity industry across seven fields: technology, policy, public awareness, education, business, infrastructure, and public-private partnerships.

Sponsoring the 2026 evening means sharing a room with peers of the people who invented public-key cryptography, wrote the Bell-LaPadula security model, built the internet’s DNS, and led the NSA’s Information Assurance Directorate.

And a direct note of alignment: Cyber Ready Clinic’s co-founder, Ron Gula, was himself inducted into the Hall in the Class of 2023, and Cyber Ready Clinic is this year’s Nonprofit Hosting Partner.

Founded: 2012; Baltimore, Maryland
