I’m a professor for the Norwich University MSIA program, and since Sunday I’ve been here in Vermont for their residency week, culminating in graduation on Friday. It has been a great week!

Don’t Be A Security Slacker

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

Today I woke up to a beautiful, gorgeous spring morning…sunny, low 60’s (abnormally high for March), gentle breeze, the grass seemed to have gotten green over night, the birds are singing, the geese and ducks have come back after being gone for the winter and are swimming on our pond, a cute little chipmunk is eating from the birdseed and nuts I scattered on the patio outside my office door, what a great day! And then, after a nice walk outside, I come back inside, first to do some chores along with my family; my sons doing their assigned cleaning.

Information Assurance: Make a Perspective Adjustment; It’s All About the Business

Monday, November 13th, 2006

Last week I was at the Computer Security Institute 33rd Annual Computer Security Conference & Exhibition where Chris Grillo and I also gave our post-conference seminar, “Effectively Partnering InfoSec and Privacy For Business Success“. It was interesting to hear the folks attending both the conference and our seminar express their concerns related to information security and privacy. I am always intrigued by the various viewpoints of folks in not only different industries, but also of those who have very little experience in dealing with information security, privacy and compliance versus those with a great amount of experience. It is very noticeable how the viewpoints shift from trying to address primarily only technical issues (overwhelmingly those with little experience) to the viewpoint of incorporating the issues throughout the entire enterprise and into all processes through procedures, awareness and responsibilities (overwhelmingly those with much experience).
