"Biography John Viega is CTO of the Software-as-a-Service Business Unit at McAfee, and was previously Vice President, Chief Security Architect at McAfee. John started out writing fiction in high school and college, but Randy Pausch (of Last Lecture Fame) convinced him to make a career in technology. John lives in Boston, and has two daughters."
