Throughout his distinguished career, Mr. Bailey has advised the governments of Australia, Brazil, Japan, and the United States regarding critical infrastructure security. Just Recently, Ronn was a Special Keynote Speaker at the Annual InfoSec 2003 Meeting on the second anniversary of 9/11. Mr. Bailey addressed a distinguished audience of UN Ambassadors, Ministers, Diplomats, Government and IT Business Executives in the prestigious Conference Room #4 at the United Nations Building in New York City. Mr. Bailey's speech regarding information security was powerful, and exceptionally relevant given the significance of the date. He explained that protecting cyberspace, as it pertains to our critical information infrastructure, is usually focused on PCs, network servers and devices, the Internet, and even pervasive computing devices such as Palm pilots and cell phones. He stressed that the exclusion of very large systems known as mainframes where most of the world's critical data resides poses a serious threat to every nation's security.  In August of 2002, Mr. Bailey's presence was requested in Washington DC by the Defense Analysis Institute, an academic think-tank jointly funded by the CIA and NSA. Ronn provided vital leadership in the development of the President's National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace.
Additionally, President Bush and his Critical Information Protection Board, The Foreign Intelligence Committee, The OMB and NASA have all called upon Mr. Bailey for guidance and direction for securing the critical information infrastructure. Mr. Bailey has also advised the Department of Homeland Security on the new threats to our most vital systems, Mainframes, the potential impact of attacks on them, and what must be done to protect them. Mr. Bailey was a founding member and an elected member of the Board of Directors serving as treasurer for the International Security Trust and Privacy Alliance (ISTPA), an international association of companies and technology providers focused on addressing critical issues related to personally identifiable information (personal information privacy) on the network and computer systems.  Mr. Bailey was active in the intelligence field for a number of years prior to entering the commercial computer industry. Ronn co-founded the first IBM Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) security user group and assisted in the establishment of eleven similar user groups worldwide.
