UPDATE: I am not yet satisfied with the wording of the survey, and thus it will not be available when I had originally planned. Watch for the announcement of the survey to be coming soon on various mailing lists. If you want a personal reminder when it is available, leave me a note in the comments.

I have been finding that there are many religious or faith-oriented people in technical careers. There are also many who have no faith, or choose not to actively practice any faith or religion.

In a few days (on Friday, July 24, 2009, 8:00am EDT), I will be posting a survey aimed at Information Security professionals. After the survey is closed, I will take a few days to compile and analyze the data. The final report will be made available.

In order to have a statistically meaningful survey, there needs to be a large sampling. The more responses the better! The survey will be going out to various mailing lists that I use, as well as some social networking groups.

Be sure to understand that the purpose of this survey is to simply gather data and understand the role of religion and faith for information security practitioners.

The opportunity for anonymous responses will be available. No one will be contacted directly. The only exception may be if they indicate their willingness to provide more information.

Please come back on July 24 and provide your input!

Thanks,

- Dan
