Ron Ross, a fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and leader of the Federal Information Security Management Act Implementation Project, won the 2015 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Homeland Security and Law Enforcement Medal for his efforts to bolster the nation’s cybersecurity.
Ross will receive the medal — named for the businessman, philanthropist and one-time Department of Justice attorney Sam Heyman, who founded the Partnership for Public Service — at the partnership’s 14th annual ceremony Wednesday evening. Known as the “Sammies,” the awards celebrate “public servants whose outstanding achievements have improved the lives of Americans and others around the world,” and are considered to be among the most prestigious recognitions of civil service in the U.S.
