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.

I have always been hesitant to use friends within companies as a means to getting business. I just think it is a very dangerous move and can kill the friendship along with the business deal if something goes south. I have had two instances of this happen this week.

So, in the holiday spirit, I guess I will play along. I am […] ↓ 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…
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.
