This is your crazy JetBlue captain speaking
28 Mar 2012Anyone is capable of doing anything…that’s what comes to mind when I think about the JetBlue captain going mad on a flight yesterday. Here’s what I know…Just because someone has passed a background check, has a good references and has created a good track record for himself doesn’t mean he’s not capable of flying off the hook and doing bad things. This applies to pilots as in this situation and it applies to your own users when it comes to information security.
Sadly, as with doctors, law enforcement officers and the like, we typically hold pilots on pedestals without question. These are the people we look up to assuming they’re well put together and always doing good things. This is not always true. We have to trust, but verify…yet still, we never really know. I’m just glad the JetBlue co-pilot and passengers executed a worthy backup plan. Great reminder we always need a Plan B…especially today if you work in JetBlue’s PR department.

Client Testimonials
“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.
His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
