Here is another guest post by WiFi Jedi ———————————————————————————— Can IT Vendors truly be objective? Or does everything they say have to be viewed through a lens of “they are trying to sell me something”? Join me while I rant… Personally, I think IT vendors can be objective. Sure, we manufacture and sell things… *Gasp* […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
OK, as much as it pains me, I have to respectfully disagree with The Shimel about his review on Iron Man. First off, I really think you have to have some knowledge of the Iron Man comic story to truly appreciate this movie. Clearly Alan does not have that history (and he is probably going […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There’s a new security blog out there, and this one is another Accuvant employee (so you know it is going to be good). His name is Jim Broome, and his blog is called Jim’s Bloggyness. Jim is an Assessments Team Lead at Accuvant, and he is one smart dude. Here’s his profile: Jim Broome, an information security […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Looks like my good friends over at StillSecure are doing a great job. Read this review. Awesome accolades go to Martin and Mitchell. Vet
OK, now that I am settled in my hotel room in Dallas, I have some time to respond to Alan’s post calling me a hooker (like I said to Alan, at least he called me high-priced). I will also be responding to a comment left by a reader who goes by the name of Shaneo. You […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Why do Alan and Mitchell call the Still Secure, After All These Years blog and podcast “SSATY” instead of “SSAATY”? Is there a conspiracy against the letter “A”? Do they not like the letter “A”? I would think not since it starts Alan’s first name and also starts Mitchell’s last name. Does it help Alan cut […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I just finished a post at my Computerworld blog about grassroots security. Basically, I am talking about securing the Internet by securing the typical user. So now, I am goign to say much the same thing, but I am going to use a different metaphor. It is in the title, but I will draw it […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Well, my good friend and blogging compatriot Martin McKeay has finally made it to the big time by actually having a press release issued about his move to StillSecure. I can honestly say that I have never known someone personally that had his own press release. Wow. I can count the Great McKeay as a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
[Updated post - I added quite a bit] I am about to leave the RSA conference. I am a little disappointed that I was not here all week. The last two years I arrived Monday and left Friday and got to go to all the sessions I could make it to. But that was when […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It is rare these days to meet a person with true vision. I mean a person who can just look at a topic and instinctively know what it would take to succeed in that arena. It is even more rare to find a person that is also passionate about the topic to which they are […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Alan and Mitchell at the StillSecure After All These Years podcast interviewed me last week for their podcast. It is up here at Alan’s site and here at Mitchell’s site. I gave an update on my move to the channel, about honesty in selling security, the converging of the security professional and the general IT […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Mitchell Ashely wrote a piece on conflict of interest yesterday. It was specifically concerning analysts because of the firestorm of posts about some analysts recently jumping ship and going to manufacturers. Mitchell’s post got me to thinking about some things specific to me (because I am my number one fan, and because the analyst sopa […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If you don’t follow my ComputerWorld blog, well…. you should! Presently I am a once-a-week blogger over there (though I don’t always get to it that often), but I will soon be a regular three-posts-a-week blogger. They have lost a couple of bloggers due to burn out, so the editor over there offered me a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
 Before you read this post, go take a look at my “Rules” for my blog.  OK, now that you are back, let me piss off some people. During this election season, I have to say that most of the security bloggers out there stayed out of the fray by sticking to what their […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I forgot to mention that I was a guest panelist on Alan Shimel’s SSAATY podcast last night. This was a great panel. I had a great time, and I think we really hit some key points and offered some solutions to security admins and managers out there that need some help selling security to execs. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
You probably don’t need me to post this since you probably read Martin’s blog if you read mine, but he landed an interview with Bruce Schneier and got it posted yesterday. Well, to make it even better, Bruce posted the link on his blog today. Martin is seeing some increasing traffic now for the podcast, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As I mentioned in my last post, I had the honor to virtually meet Mitchell Ashley, CTO of StillSecure, while recording Alan Shimel’s podcast last night. Alan kiddingly calls Mitchell “Ed McMahon” because he is regularly joining Alan on his podcasts. Mitchell has recently been inspired to start his own blog. I started reading it when I saw […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
