Earlier this month, Ziff Davis business oriented publications, eWeek, CIO Insight and Baseline, published its list of the Top 100 Most Influential People in IT which “looked for people who not only had a tangible track record of IT success, but also have far-reaching influence, the ability to effect change and a deep level of engagement in developing emerging technologies.”

The list includes a couple of notable Mozillians: Brendan Eich and Wyndow Snyder, Mozilla Corporation Chief Technology Officer and Chief Security Officer respectively.

“Eich helps ensure that the browser is up to the task of acting as the operating system— running an increasing number of mission-critical enterprise applications in the cloud.”, says the article about Brendan who is ranked in the 30th position.

About Wyndow, in the 43rd position, it reads: “A former Microsoft security strategist, Snyder borrowed a page from Redmond’s playbook and introduced a comprehensive threat-modeling and penetration-testing routine to Mozilla.”

The list is headed by Larry Elison, Steve Jobs and Steve Ballmer and includes a long list of notable including Tim Berners-Lee, Nicholas Negroponte, Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreesen, and Ray Ozzie. Michal Zalewski, a famous white hat hacker who disclosed a few Firefox vulnerabilities last year, today and information security engineer for Google, is also in the list in the 51st position.
