Up in Orlando today and yesterday at the InfoSec World conference put on by the MIS Institute.  StillSecure has a booth but I have spent most of my time talking to old friends in the security world.  Some of the folks I have seen are Ian Poynter, Jeremiah Grossman, Jordan Wiens, Bobby Dominguez, etc, etc.  Another person I had a chance to catch up with and get to know much better is Ofir Arkin from Insightix.  Ofir always has something interesting to say and we spent some time with the SC Magazine folks talking shop.  Speaking of SC Magazine, they are in full swing getting ready for their awards show at RSA this year.  That is always one party I look forward to.  But it sure would be nice to win this year. I think we are finalists in 3 or 4 categories.

Anyway, enough of the page 6 social news.  The conference seems to be very well attended this year by the usual mix of folks trying to learn more about security.  I hear rumors that next year the show is moving back to Coronado Springs at Disney World.  I hope not as the Shingle Creek Resort is very nice and offers many less distractions than the Disney venue.

Anyway, this show has me thinking that with many of the security shows having fallen by the wayside over the last year or two, we could use a good Security event in the Northeast.  Maybe some one will pick up on that.

Also, in case any of you want to know, the only booth babes I saw at this show were from Fortify Software inviting people into their party after the exhibit hall closed.  Shame on you Fortify!
