2012 Global Security Report Released

Trustwave has released the 2012 Global Security Report. I wrote the section on data breaches and the Breach Triad. It's a great report all the way around. The team at the SpiderLabs did an outstanding job again this year, and this report is a wonderful summation of a year of hard work.

I highly encourage you to download a free copy from the Trustwave website and set aside some time to read it. It will give IT professionals of all levels a solid picture of the current state of cyber security, methods and trends. I can only imagine how use that will be for those of you trying to budget for security projects in 2012.

Again, kudos to the whole team at Trustwave that put this report together! In my opinion, it's the best one yet!

SecTor 2011 Huge Success

I am back from Toronto, and once again Brian Bourne, Renu Bourne, Bruce Cowper and the rest of the SecTor folks out on one of the best security conferences anywhere in the world.

A special thanks to Melanie Wallis for handling the logistics for all of the speakers!

If you have not been to SecTor in the past, you are seriously missing out. The talks get better year after year, and the crowd continues to grow. This year Brian said they had over 1100 attendees, which is fastasic!

Also, Grayson Lenik, Jibran Ilyas, and I conducted a one day Forensics training seminar that went beautifully, and was very well recived.

Great job again to everyone at Black Arts LTD for making SecTor 2011 a huge success!

The Great Northern Invasion

So I am heading to Canada twice this month to speak at two different security conferences.

On October 17th, I am presenting a day of Law Enforcement training in Toronto at SecTor followed on the 18th by the debut of Sniper Foreniscs v3.0: Hunt.



Then, on October 25th, I am speaking at SecureTech Canada where I am sitting on a panel discussing Cyber Extortion and Protecting Critical Data.




I am really looking forward to a pile of poutine...and maybe a Keith's!

If anyone is going to SecTor, I will be at Joe Bidali's right across the street from the hotel on most nights. See you there eh!
