He also manages proactive technology development, including Sophos's proactive Behavioral Genotype® Protection technology, which uses forensic analysis to identify suspicious patterns and characteristics unique to either a virus family or a spam campaign. Harris has more than 20 years' software engineering experience and nearly 12 years' experience in software security, having spent 10 years at McAfee in a variety of roles, including Chief Software Architect and Engineering Director.
