Viewpoint Two: The recession wont affect security folks

2008-02-13 12:51:37 by Paul Stamp in Security & Risk Management
 
...folks To answer that question, lets turn the question on its head. What did security spending look like when times were pretty good? Say from early 2005 to 2007 for example - did we see an upturn in spending? Our research found that security spending was flat or declining as a proportion of overall IT spending during that period. So then...

...folks put on a great show. They played for about 2:45 and took like no breaks. The band was tight, really tight. You can check out the set list , but what was most impressive was the number of audibles they called during the show. Bruce would pull a poster naming a song out of the crowd, motion to the band, and they'd launch into it You can...

...folks I trust, but it may be time to give iWork '08 a try as well. It takes a few more steps to work with the Office file formats, but it can be done. Or maybe I'll just go with Google Apps. I wonder if the editors I work with would take a link, instead of an attachment to the pieces I write every month? Then I can use Google Apps to provide...

...Folks spend a lot of time trying to create a plausible ruse. And then they do it on April 1. It's a waste of time Let me relate that back to security for a second. This is why being predictable is the death knell. If everyone knows you are pulling a stunt, they are ready for it. If no one knows, you have a chance. If you do predictable stuff...

...folks have their taxes done way ahead of time, especially if they are getting a refund. But not me. No sir. I'd rather let the Feds sit on my refund as long as they can. I wait until the very last minute to get the taxes done. And I mean the VERY last minute. A few years ago, I remember driving up to the post office (who thankfully stays open...

...folks are motivated and they want to make a difference, but they keep being stonewalled by short-sighted companies that think paying Lee Kushner a boatload of coin is going to solve their problem. It's good for the experienced folks, since their perceived value goes up - but remember if these experienced folks are so willing to follow the...

...folks around the table to do it, prove me wrong. Or to use a bad 70's game show analogy - name that tune in 3 notes We are security folks, and I don't think security folks ask nearly enough questions. I guess some of us are scared of how we'll be perceived. Or that we'll lose credibility because we don't know all the answers. That's why many...

...folks think that if no one outright complains about something that it's OK. They seem to forget that most folks vote with the delete button. The vendor just loses attention and awareness and ultimately that impacts a company's credibility. Farnum is exactly right, that kind of sensationalist marketing is abrasive and annoying to folks that...

...folks think I'm a prick for not responding to their press inquiries or not getting back to them to take a briefing for a 1.6 release of their widget. Some also scratch their heads when I ask for large sums of money to speak in far-away places, but it's all about opportunity cost. I've got to maximize my time because I don't want to work all...

Reliability Vs. Security

2007-12-07 16:46:00 by sdl in The Security Development Lifecycle
 
...folks on the planet who would see security as a subset or subsidiary concern, it might be the industry and academic experts that attend this prestigious IEEE conference I gave the industry keynote to open the second day of ISSRE 07 this past November, and started this debate by focusing on the topic that consumes my days: security. I painted...
