“It is my great pleasure to welcome Michael to our community of Ponemon Institute Fellows,” said Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute. “Our Institute had the opportunity to work with Michael on our recent study, ‘The State of Threat Feed Effectiveness in the United States and United Kingdom.’ His deep understanding of the threat landscape and perspective on the power of DNS threat insights and threat data feeds were key to the success of this research.”

In his role with Neustar, Michael Kaczmarek is responsible for formulating the vision, defining the strategy and executing the tactics needed for the successful launch and expansion of products into new and existing markets. He also directs Neustar’s research efforts around DDoS attacks and DNS trends, working closely with the cross-functional team to publish regular reports detailing changes in the cybersecurity landscape.

“It’s an honor to be included among such a distinguished group of security professionals at Ponemon, and to have the opportunity to contribute my own knowledge and expertise towards research that will serve the greater good,” said Kaczmarek. “The power of Ponemon is the collective contribution of each of its members and the range of personal learning opportunities and greater industry impact it produces.”

Prior to joining Neustar, Kaczmarek spent nearly two decades with Verisign, serving in various capacities including vice president of product management and marketing for Verisign Security Services.
