    What’s up with conferences in October?

    I've had to turn down 3 speaking engagements the weeks of October 10th & 17th because I'm, well, speaking at other shows those weeks. Maybe it's something about the weather that time of year? Perhaps discounted meeting facility rental rates? I suspect the real reason is that all the top-notch security speakers are busy then so the conference organizers are reaching out to second stringers like me. BTW, my apologies ...

    Great time was had at InfoSec 2008 in Louisville

    I've been traveling quite a bit as of late so I'm a little off kilter. That said, I wanted to post a quick note regarding the Kentuckiana ISSA's 4th annual InfoSec conference I keynoted last week. It was a great show...very good turnout - both attendees and vendors - and VERY well run. In fact, I believe Cindy Woods - the brains/effort behind the show missed her calling. Cindy put ...
