About the Author
Ivan Ristić writes computer security books and builds security products. His book Bulletproof TLS and PKI, the result of more than a decade of research and study, is widely recognised as the de facto SSL/TLS and PKI reference manual. His work on SSL Labs made millions of web sites more secure. Before that, he created ModSecurity, a leading open-source web application firewall.
More recently, Ivan founded Hardenize—now part of Red Sift—as a platform for continuous discovery and monitoring of network infrastructure. He now works as Chief Scientist at Red Sift.
