About the Author

David Litchfield is the founder and Chief Research Scientist of NGSSoftware Ltd., a U.K.-based security solutions provider. David is known as the world's premier expert on Oracle database security, having gained that reputation when he uncovered a security hole in Oracle 9 Database Servers, which disproved Oracle's multimillion dollar "unbreakable" marketing campaign. He has lectured at both the National Security Agency in the U.S. and G.C.H.Q. in the U.K. on emerging threats and information assurance. He is a regular speaker at Blackhat Security Briefings and Microsoft Bluehat and Microsoft TechEd. Previously, he was Director of Security Architecture at @stake, since acquired by Symantec. David has designed NGSSQuirreL, a powerful tool for advanced database vulnerability and risk assessment.
