The issue of electronic voting has at various points in time placed Ruben on the national stage. He has been interviewed on CNN, NPR, was even featured on The Daily Show and has also testified before the U.S. Election Assistance Commission twice.

As a result of the headway made in this direction, Ruben was named a "Baltimorean of the Year" by Baltimore Magazine in 2004.

As a cofounder of ISE, where he works alongside several former students, Ruben provides technological assistance to keep individual companies secure. ISE designs secure systems and fixes systems riddled with holes and weaknesses. The ISE team is a diverse group of experts, all able to assist corporations in remaining secure.

Though Ruben's firm has succeeded in identifying and fixing one of the major weaknesses in the enormously popular iPhone, his work is far from completed. Holes still remain in several applications, and users are cautioned to visit only trusted sites.

Technological security is an ever-evolving field, and as Ruben's work in a variety of areas has shown, holes exist everywhere.

Ruben's daily steps forward may seem remote, but as his iPhone hack shows us, technological security is a crucial area that needs constant exploration.
