I came to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates a week ago to promote an International Executive Protection course that we are holding here later in the summer. While it is true that most citizens in the U.A.E. are law abiding, there is potential here for opportunists to turn that around. Anyone who spends anytime here, especially in the vicinity of Dubai, will see that it is an extremely wealthy area.

I was talking to an ex-pat business man last night at dinner and he made the comment that a friend of his could not get the attention of the Valets at a local club recently because he was "only driving a Porsche 911". The valets were too busy finding premium parking spots for the Bentleys, Aston Martins and Ferraris. This is why Sexton Executive Security is opening an office in the U.A.E. We believe it is only a matter of time before cunning criminals realize how much money they could make from kidnappings, stealing luxury cars/chop shops and a host of other crimes.

Then yesterday morning something else happened. One of the Embassies released a terrorist alert warning for the U.A.E. Despite the fact that this is the Middle East, alerts like this are not common. Afteralll, this is a shopper's paradise where vistors can spend thousands of dollars on a hotel suite for the night. Now we have begun to compile a list of Executive Protection Specialists with current passports who are available for International assignments.

Don't let the bright lights fool you. This is not Kansas Dorothy. Keep your eyes open and like they used to say on Hill Street Blues; "let's be careful out there."

It is apparently a joint project of security firm Cigital and the IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine. The regular show page is at www.cigital.com/silverbullet/ and includes a place there for comments and feedback. They just rolled out episode 20 and in looking back through the episodes they seem to have interviewed some great folks in the security space. Some of the predictable "big names" like Dan Geer, Marcus Ranum, Eugene Spafford and Bruce Schneier, but also folks like Dorothy Denning whose name was quite popular in the Clipper Chip days but then of whom I personally had heard little else since. Also folks from companies like Cisco and Microsoft and a number of professors from academic institutions. Looks to be a nice addition to the range of security podcasts out there and it has joined my subscription list. ]]> Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:26:24 +0000 security podcast cigital episode blue box episode ieee security security firm cigital folks clipper chip days academic institutions "The Silver Bullet Security Podcast" - another security podcast to check out <![CDATA["The Silver Bullet Security Podcast" - another security podcast to check out]]> http://securityratty.com/article/c573e9db29c5e8c83d77ae08c0f78d49 http://securityratty.com/article/c573e9db29c5e8c83d77ae08c0f78d49 895A79A5-8647-4406-A51D-5F20EEAB03D0.jpgIn preparing for an upcoming Blue Box episode, I happened to come across an article on the IEEE Security & Privacy site which pointed me to an interesting new security podcast called "The Silver Bullet Security Podcast with Gary McGraw".

On the 11th episode of The Silver Bullet Security Podcast, Gary talks with Dorothy Denning, a professor in the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School. Previously, Dorothy was a distinguished professor at Georgetown University and a professor at Purdue University. Gary and Dorothy discuss Dorothy’s involvement in the Clipper Chip controversy (which earned Dorothy the moniker “clipper chick”), the concept of geo-encryption, and a famous 1990 paper she wrote describing a series of interviews with malicious hackers.
