Brumley obtained a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics from the University of Northern Colorado in 1998.[2][3] In 2003 he obtained an MS degree in computer science from Stanford University.[2][4] In 2008 he obtained a PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University, where his Advisor was Professor Dawn Song.[2][5]
Brumley was previously the Assistant Computer Security Officer for Stanford University.[4][3] Brumley is the faculty advisor to the Plaid Parliament of Pwning (PPP), which is the Carnegie Mellon University competitive security team.[6][7]
Some of his notable accomplishments include:
Brumley earned his undergraduate degree in mathematics in 1998 from the University of Northern Colorado, a master's degree in computer science in 2003 from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in computer science from CMU in 2008.
David Brumley is the Assistant Computer Security Officer for Stanford University. He has responded to over 1000 incidents, authored such programs as the remote intrusion detector (RID) and SULinux (Stanford University Linux). David received his bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Northern Colorado.

In 2008 I started as a new assistant professor at CMU. I sat down, thought hard about what I had learned from graduate school, and tried to figure out what to do next. My advisor in graduate school was Dawn Song, one of the top scholars in computer security. She would go on to win a MacArthur "Genius" Award in 2010. She's a hard act to follow. I was constantly reminded of this because, by some weird twist of fate, I was given her office when she moved from CMU to Berkeley.
Brumley is the faculty advisor to PPP. "Our team has put in thousands of hours of practice, and it is rewarding to see them win amongst the best hackers in the world," said Brumley. "Every year this competition becomes harder and harder to win."
And Carnegie Mellon's Plaid Parliament of Pwning (PPP) team, led by Assistant Professor of ECE and Computer Science David Brumley, has pulled off a huge feat this semester, winning not just one or two of these grueling competitions, but three — and all since September.
