I’ve been involved in various aspects of information security in the financial and non-profit sectors since 1996, working for both medium-sized businesses (~600 employees) and small businesses.
There are some significant deficiencies in the way information security is addressed within the InfoSec industry. Conferences often fall at either of two extremes. Either the focus is on technical details such as packet analysis and host configurations, or the workshops are geared toward the high-end solutions, such as global BCP or PKI, that are practical only for large companies. While there are the occasional exceptions, most conferences and training seem to one or the other.
The primary objective of this website is to think through issues in information security from an extremely practical point of view. But, in keeping with what is said in Proverbs, “Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another”, your thoughts and comments will help us all remain sharp.
You can expect a new thought posted each Thursday here. The look and feel of the site is not defined yet, so you will also be seeing some changes there. Thanks for stopping by.
