The Biggest Cyber Threat?

The secret is finally out. A study commissioned by McAfee shows 600 executives in 14 countries helped put the US on the top of the list of most feared cyber threat. "The results varied widely by country, but overall, we beat out China and Russia for first place. Not surprisingly, we were the most feared nation in China and Russia, but respondents in Brazil, Spain and Mexico also put the United States at the top." Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

The 2009 Techno Forensics Conference

Tuesday October 27, 2009 at 1:00 PM I was having a great time. I had just finished lunch and started my first presentation in Lecture room C, Administration Building at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). I was attending The 2009 Techno Forensics & Digital Investigations Conference in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I thought the conference went very well and a big thanks goes out to Jack Wiles and Don Withers for putting on yet another great conference and allowing me to speak!

A few days later I received an email from someone who attended my first talk called, "Cyberwarfare Begins with Passion: Did Someone Awaken A Sleeping Cyber Giant?" The last comment on the email said, "Thanks you helped put more focus in my daily work and to get my passion back." This is what it's all about to me. I have always believed cybersecurity begins and ends with PEOPLE. I hope I was as effective with other audience members in both of my talks.
