High-Tech Group Honors DOJ Officials

October 16, 2008 | 2:23 PM

The Business Software Alliance recognized the contributions of two Justice Department officials with its annual cyber safety champion award on Thursday. The honor, presented in conjunction with National Cyber Security Awareness Month, was bestowed upon Michael DuBose, who heads the agency's Computer Crimes and Intellectual Property Section and FBI special agent Don Good, each of whom has led aggressive, cutting-edge efforts to fight cyber crime domestically and abroad.

DuBose has supervised the prosecution of numerous high-profile software piracy cases, including many of the best-known cases, BSA said. Good is assigned to the Washington D.C., Field Office, where he manages the criminal computer intrusion squad and leads several high-priority investigations. He previously led the InfraGard Program, an association of businesses, academic institutions, and state and local law enforcement agencies working to protect cyber infrastructure.

BSA President Robert Holleyman issued a statement saluting the winners "for going the extra mile to strengthen our economy and security." "Both of these individuals have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to solving problems and forging partnerships for progress," he said.
