We welcome David to the board and look forward to working with him."

"The digital atmosphere is vast and requires a diverse team effort to protect users and combat cybercrime on a global basis," Hoffman said. "I look forward to sharing my breadth of knowledge about privacy and security from the legislative, consumer, and developer perspectives to increase online safety for all."

Hoffman participates in several other security and privacy related organizations. He was a founding member of the BBBOnLine Steering Committee and served on the TRUSTe board of directors from 2000 to 2006. He also served on the board of directors for the International Association of Privacy Professionals and held the role of treasurer. He holds the Certified Information Privacy Professional Certification and has lectured at law schools in the U.S., Europe and China.
