Personal life
Steinberg is a lifelong resident of Teaneck, New Jersey, for which he served as Chairman of its Financial Advisory Board from 2008-2010.

Inventions
Joseph is the inventor of several information-security technologies and methodologies, including various anti-phishing technologies as well as mechanisms for strongly authenticating users to online systems without requiring extra efforts from those users. Some of these technologies are incorporated into the Identity Cues series of products offered by Green Armor Solutions, and are (as of July 2007) in use by the members and customers of more than 1,300 credit unions, banks, and other financial institutions. Due to the non-intrusive nature of the authentication methods Steinberg invented (i.e., they can be configured to be invisible to users), many people authenticated using Steinberg's inventions may not even realize that they are benefiting from augmented security.

Joseph Steinberg also introduced the concept of leveraging psychology in the core design of authentication systems, and is a co-author of a white paper that discusses in detail the psychological elements that impact the effectiveness of online authentication solutions.

He also discovered many of the security risks associated with allowing remote access to corporate systems from web browsers and invented innovative ways of addressing these concerns which are now in use by many vendors.

He is also credited with discovering several vulnerabilities in other security products including Microsoft Exchange.

Publications
In May 2003, Joseph Steinberg published an article entitled SSL VPN Security (originally published through the SANS Institute ); this article was the first to deal specifically with the topic of security issues created by the at-the-time new remote-access technology known as SSL VPN; since its publication, nearly every SSL VPN vendor has acted upon the concerns and recommendations made in Mr. Steinberg's article

He is also the author of one book, and added content to a second. He has also written articles on various topics related to business, information technology, and digital-age security.

His most recent book, SSL VPN: Understanding, Evaluating and Planning Secure, Web-Based Remote Access — published in 2005 — has been sold around the world,     and was translated into French in 2006.

Lectures and Presentations
He has also lectured on a wide variety of topics; a list of his information-security related lectures can be found here.
