    Great quote that applies to information security

    “Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the danger of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of ‘crackpot’ than the stigma of conformity.” – Thomas J. Watson, Jr.I've found that it's a great way to live your life too. :)...

    Real-life example of people not seeing the big picture

    The inability to think long-term, to see the bigger picture consequences of our choices, is no doubt at the root of most information security problems. Here's an example of what I'm talking about...what's wrong with this car?No, this isn't a race car with Hoosier racing slicks...it's a street car owned by someone working or shopping at a Wal-Mart who has chosen to drive with improper equipment.

    How are you spending your time?

    Not long ago I had a conversation with a colleague of mine who's also a consultant. We were discussing the topic of how, even with today's shaky economy, people still goof off on the job as if they had nothing to lose.Are you seeing this too?

    My final takeaway from #RSAC

    I said my farewell to the RSA Conference Tuesday evening but had some final thoughts about the show that I wanted to share with you.In addition to the keynotes I talked about, I attended a mock trial session involving malware, a digital certificate acquired for ill-gotten gains, and a healthcare company that ignored all things HIPAA (heard that a million times!) as well as a session by HP's Jacob West ...
