Why Jeff? He's the co-founder of the SCAP Security Guide and has been working
tirelessly to make C&A less expensive, faster, and do so using open source. Jeff has
also been a great ally of OpenSCAP as demonstrated at the Red Hat Summit...

Jeff also open sourced the development of Common Criteria protection profiles, which can
be found on GitHub:

To achieve this open source awesomeness, Jeff worked with DoD Legal to attain broad
permissions for DoD/IC/Civ/Integrators to contribute back to open source. This alone is
worth a "Disruptor" award!
