William Hugh Murray

Recognized as a founder of the systems audit field and a pioneer of computer security, Murray joined IBM Research as a programmer in 1956, where he worked on such iconic systems as the first 704 and the first 650 Tape System, US Steel One, and with such industry pioneers as Nathaniel Rochester, Arthur Samuels, Jerrier Haddad, and Frederick Brooks. He managed the design and development of the access control subsystem for IBM's Advanced Administrative System and was thereafter associated with security, audit, and control.

After retiring from IBM in 1987, he has been associated with Ernst & Young, Deloitte, TruSecure, Cybertrust, and Verizon Business. He has served on the faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School. Murray has also served on the board of (ISC)^2, the certifying body for computer security professionals.
