2006-10-16 08:34:00 by Eric Marvets in The Security Samurai
 
I have been a road warrior since just after 9/11. For the past 5 years I have spent at least 6 months of the year somewhere other than where I call home.

Renouncing caffeine (something my ThinkGeek brothers would consider blasphemous). Removing the TV from the bedroom. No naps. Relaxation CDs, etc So after 2 months of this and more and more...

Beware of scams!

2008-01-31 06:06:00 by John Sexton in The Bullet Proof Blog

It shows how con artists scam people and should be a real eye opener for many Last night's show dealt with how easy it is for con artists (not just conmen, but conwomen too)to steal credit card information, many times right in front...

What does size matter when it comes to chosing a security company? The big national companies with thousands on their payrolls would probably tell you it means everything, whilst a smaller firm like mine would tell you it can mean the complete opposite Take the case as reported in yesterday's Washington Post involving a security guard by the...

As a security consultant, I am often asked to advise on ways to protect a client from such exposure.

Security is Invisible and Customers won't Pay for Security

2008-01-25 19:06:11 by RaviC in Musings on Information Security
 
A few years ago a dentist that I consulted with recommended me Dental Protector for Night Time Teeth Grinding . She mentioned that I grind my teeth during sleep.
