An Information Security Place

Commentary on the State of Information Security

 Going for Bluecoat WAN Op training today.  Kinda funny because I was out at a client’s yesterday working on a POC, and one of the network guys started asking me if I could help him with a Bluecoat WAN op problem he was having.  I told him he was a day early, since I had not played with it before.

That is one of those times where, in the past, I would have looked at it and pretended to know something simply because I work for a VAR that sells Bluecoat.  Now, I tell ‘em point blank I don’t know it.  Sometimes I can’t tell whether they think I suck or respect my honesty, but it is better than them finding out that I don’t know it after I pretended to know it.  SE’s can’t know everything!
