FANCY ABOUT.

I love building and breaking things.

Daniel B. Cid is the founder of CleanBrowsing , focused on helping parents,
schools and businesses protect kids from adult content online. He is also the
original founder of the open source OSSEC HIDS, founder/CTO of Sucuri , NOC.org,
Trunc and former VP of Engineering for the security products division at
GoDaddy. He is passionated about intrusion detection , log analysis, malware
research and web/online security.

He is an active member of the open source and security community, specially
known for creating the OSSEC HIDS (Intrusion detection system) and founding
Sucuri & CleanBrowsing. He is also the co-writer of the Host-Based Intrusion
Detection book.

In the past, he worked at Trend Micro, Q1Labs (now IBM), Sourcefire (now Cisco)
and on his own ventures.

On June 2008, he sold his open source project OSSEC to Trend Micro, and joined
Trend as the lead of OSSEC development.

On April 2017, he sold Sucuri to GoDaddy and joined the company as a VP of
Engineering.

On 2020, he left GoDaddy and went back to his roots building interesting
products - for fun and some profit. Often no profit.



Mammoth hot springs.
Coding for fun and profit. Often fun and little profit.

ACTIVE PROJECTS



After leaving a big corporation (GoDaddy), I decided to go back to what I love
and just build things and solve problems.

That led to 3 main products that are keeping me busy all the time.
CleanBrowsing, a DNS based content filter; NOC.org, a CDN/WAF to protect and
optimize web sites; and Trunc, a centralized log analysis and storage solution
in the cloud.

You can read more about other smaller projects that I am involved here: Daniel
