Cristine Hoepers
termThe general manager of CERT.br, Brazil's national incident response team, where she has worked on incident handling since 1999 - and the researcher most responsible for the country's honeypot measurement work and for helping new incident response teams get founded across Latin America.
She received M3AAWG's Mary Litynski Award in 2020 for work reducing online abuse, and in 2024 became the first Brazilian woman inducted into FIRST's Incident Response Hall of Fame, a list that also carries Dan Kaminsky. The through-line of her career is capacity building rather than headline findings: teams that did not exist, best practices that had no local text, and long-running measurement published openly - the unglamorous work that determines whether a country can respond at all.
Also known as: cert.br, mary litynski award, first hall of fame

- NIC.br institutional history: "Em junho de 1997 ... foi constituído o NBSO (NIC.br Security Office). Esse grupo evoluiu para o atual CERT.br ... que desde 1999 recebe notificações de incidentes relacionados às redes que operam no Brasil." The founding of the body is 1997 and incident notification begins in 1999, so both dates in this entry come from one sentence
