Agree with panel rating?
Bruce Schneier appears on this year's Agenda Setters List for his huge influence in the security field.
Outspoken as ever, Schneier questioned the very need for a security industry recently - claiming that technology should automatically be secure.
Schneier's views reach "hundreds of thousands of people" via his blog and monthly newsletter, making Schneier the "absolute innovator [and] security person in my mind," according to one panellist.
Recent topics on the Schneier blog include how to eavesdrop on a fibre optic cable, "idiotic" cryptography reporting and his opinions on why London's security cameras don't reduce crime.
Schneier is the founder and CTO of BT Counterpane, the inventor of outsourced security monitoring and an established author - having penned what the panel described as the biggest crypto book in the world, Applied Cryptography.
Schneier designed the popular Blowfish and Twofish encryption algorithms and has served on the board of directors of the International Association for Cryptologic Research. He is also an Advisory Board member for the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
