Suresh Konda

The H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management is establishing the Suresh Konda Memorial Lecture to foster dialogue about information security policy and management issues.

The lecture will honor Suresh Konda, an alumnus and long time employee of Carnegie Mellon who died tragically in 2003. At the time of his death, Konda worked for the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). He was considered a pioneer in information security research and recognized widely for his work on the security of large networks. He received the SEI's first Angel Jordan Award for Innovation in 2002.

The lecture is being established through contributions from classmates, friends and colleagues who wanted to honor him and the lasting contributions he made to the field of information security.
