I had a long talk with a client yesterday regarding IPS. They were setting up a nice sized extranet infrastructure to serve their clients, and they needed to build some security into the design before they implemented. They had already thought of a lot of pieces, and now they were looking at putting in IPS. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I went out to see one of our customers this week who had their web app pwned a while back. This is the second client since I have been with Accuvant that we were trying to help via our security assessment services who got smacked around before they could make up their mind to spend […] ↓ 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…
I was at a client site the other day… Wait a minute. I just realized how often I open posts with that line now. I feel like Snoopy: It was a dark and stormy night! Anyway, I was visiting a client the other day (yea, that’s better ), and I was accompanied by my sales guy […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
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…
One of the biggest things I have learned since I have been in IT is that you have to develop the skill of managing customer expectations (to clarify, the term “customer” means the people for whom you are doing your job – clients, users, etc.). If your customer believes you can perform a service that […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Steve Hunt at Security Dreamer recently posted a quick test for knowing if your network is vulnerable. The test: well, there is no test. You can take for granted that your network is vulnerable. Steve’s point? You don’t need a security consultant to perform a $30,000 security assessment to tell you that. I see Steve’s […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Everyone seems to be commenting on the Counterpane acquisition by BT. But unlike most of the “analyst” type comments out there (here, here, and here), I want to comment about this acquisition from my not-too-long-ago viewpoint of a security manager. First all, with all respect to Mr. Schneier, I was never impressed with Counterpane. They pitched to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I have decided to start putting down some of the day-to-day events with this new job. I think it will actually help stir my mind to blog more since I have not been writing near enough lately. So here goes. I have actually been kinda bored since my recent job change. Though I have been […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Karn Griffen over at the the Information Security Gurus blog mentions my post about getting out of security management. He has a good post today about how we should all be getting out of the front lines when there are so many possibilities with outsourcing. He also commented on that same post, where he said […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When I was looking to make a move out of security management, I knew I had a few choices as to what I wanted to move into. I knew I wanted a pre-sales type of position, but I wasn’t sure about the type of company I wanted to work for. Should I go for a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
