Is Security Easy?

As I have discussions with the customers I meet and talk to on a regular basis, I constantly yearn to understand the challenges they are facing. What is stopping them from moving forward and implementing the security tools that are available to them?

You Want Security? Google Your Name

Googling yourself is an important exercise in order to understand what others can find about you. I constantly stress that security will always come down to the individual – how it comes down to you. If you don’t know what others know, how can you protect yourself, your life, your job, your career?

Security… It is Not what you do… It is How you do IT

What I love about security is the fact that security should always be based around a discussion. Security is NOT about products. Security is about implementation and how it is implemented.
