• Oil and infosec, a marriage made in heaven?

    07 Jun 2010

    Here’s a funny – and ironic – pic a friend of mine just forwarded me.

    Need I say more?

    Also, I have on my desk the March 8, 2010 edition of InformationWeek (great mag by the way) that has BP as its cover story. A call out quote says:

    “Two years ago, BP CEO Tony Hayward laid some very tough love on his 500 top managers. Despite revenue of about $300 billion, the energy company had become “a serial underperformer” that had “promised a lot but not delivered very much.” Here’s how CIO Dana Deasy responded.”

    Promise a lot a not deliver very much – the security mantra of all too many businesses!

    I’m sure Obama and his government minions will be able to fix it all. Seriously, I hope someone does. This oil mess is a pretty big blow to Newt Gingrich’s Drill Here Drill Now Pay Less that I was so pumped up about. Really a cruddy situation all around.

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.”
