Message Systems Executive Len Shneyder To Serve On M3AAWG Board Of Directors

COLUMBIA, Md., Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Message Systems, the global leader in email infrastructure software for cloud-based businesses and large enterprises, today announced that Len Shneyder, Director of Industry Relations, has been selected to serve on the M³AAWG Board of Directors. The Messaging, Malware and Mobile Anti-Abuse Working Group (www.m3aawg.org) is where the industry comes together to work against botnets, malware, spam, viruses, denial-of-service attacks and other online exploitation. M³AAWG leverages the depth and experience of a global community to tackle abuse on existing networks and new emerging threats through technology, collaboration and public policy. It also works to educate global policy makers on the technical and operational issues related to online abuse and messaging. The appointment was made official at the recently concluded M³AAWG 32^nd General Meeting in Boston.

"I'm honored to be serving on the M³AAWG board," said Mr. Shneyder. "I look forward to working closely with committee chairs to help establish the ongoing M³AAWG agenda to prevent abuse of the Internet. Toward that objective I will look to drive best practices documents and content that can serve to educate individuals and companies on the ways in which they can help mitigate security threats and prevent messaging abuse. M³AAWG is a unique, member-driven organization that operates across disciplines and company lines; our members are committed to a safer Internet and I'm honored to work closely with so many talented individuals and companies."

The M³AAWG Board works not only with constituent members, but also seeks to establish dialogues with outside groups that have similar missions. M³AAWG works cooperatively with enforcement agencies such as the FTC and the FBI, industry trade groups and policy organizations by providing technical expertise on operational and security issues that affect the industry's ability to protect end-users. 

"We're happy to welcome Len to the board," said Jerry Upton, M³AAWG Executive Director. "Len has been around since the earliest days of the organization and most recently, he has worked tirelessly to program our meetings. We look forward to the contributions he and Message Systems will make to our shared M³AAWG mission."

Mr. Shneyder will also continue to serve as co-chair of the M³AAWG Program Committee, helping to shape the organization's three annual meetings to ensure that topics relevant to the messaging, malware and mobile mission are consistently front and center in keynote presentations and sessions. The program committee handles logistics associated with bringing in speakers from around the world, serving as a point of contact to ensure that schedules are created on time and adhered to, and that sessions are appropriately staffed and run so that attendees can contribute in a meaningful way to the organization and its mission.
