to include development tasks and backbone security threat mitigation. While in this position Chris has helped develop several techniques for Denial of Service Mitigation, including the method currently used by UUNET/MCI to track attack traffic across its backbone and the method which allows UUNET/MCI customers to blackhole their own IP space in the event that space is being attacked. Additionally, Chris has contributed to several features available now on Juniper and Cisco routers used to provide security services. His responsibilities now include resolving security engineering tasks for the UUNET/MCI IP Backbone as well as customer security issues. Chris has presented to several industry conferences the current 'best practices' for backbone security and customer security on a large backbone network. This has enabled many other large network service providers to implement similar reaction methods used to mitigate customer security issues, allowing better cooperation between network providers during global security incidents.
