Summary
Dan York is a seasoned Internet technology and trust leader with over three decades of experience shaping online resilience, security, and open standards. Currently Senior Director for Online Trust and Safety at the Internet Society, he builds practical resources and programs to help newly connected communities stay safe while driving adoption of IPv6, DNSSEC, TLS and routing security. A CISSP, author and frequent industry speaker, Dan has led industry-facing projects on LEO satellites, Internet shutdowns, and AI impacts on network infrastructure, and he helped transition MANRS to the Global Cyber Alliance. He combines strategic executive experience as chief of staff and advisor to CEOs with deep technical roots—from VoIP and Linux to open-standards evangelism—and co-founded the Linux Professional Institute. Based in Vermont, he brings an uncommon blend of policy, technical advocacy and communications skill, and when not working on Internet resilience he can often be found curling or exploring climate-tech solutions.
