Not sure what you mean &quot;play nice with an iPad&quot;.

Take a look at the Society of Information Risk Analysts. We are dedicated to advancing the theory and practice of information security risk analysis. The website is http://www.societyinforisk.org and the mailing list is at http://lists.societyinforisk.org/mailman/sira. In addition to the mail list and website, there is a reading list on the site which contains quite a number of recommended books on information risk management and analysis. There is also a new SANS class on risk management.<br /><br />2. I find Twitter to be one of the best resources for staying on top of what is happening in the information security space. Of course, that assumes that you are following a bunch of twitter folk who are interested in and knowledgeable about information security and that you are committed to keeping up. Probably the most inclusive list of information security focused folks on Twitter is a group referred to as the SecurityTwits. You can find a list of them at http://www.infosecramblings.com/securitytwits. Industry conferences like RSA are great although I find more value in the hallway track than the presentations on occasion. <br /><br />3. I&#39;m not even going to attempt to answer that question. I know and respect so many great information security practitioners and picking just one is not possible.<br /><br />4. I tend to try and find mentors in positions that are somewhere along the path of my career plan, preferably occupying the role that is the next step in my plan. To that end, the best mentor would be one is holding the job she wants. I found my current mentor on twitter.<br /><br />I am always happy to answer question and connect people. If she want to reach out to me for more, I am kriggins on twitter. Note: I also run the securitytwits twitter handle.Kevin Rigginsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34034224.post-60801313442473757892012-02-10T11:05:59.591-07:002012-02-10T11:05:59.591-07:00You&#39;re Welcome!Jeff Snydernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34034224.post-48440373912864717042012-02-10T10:23:31.092-07:002012-02-10T10:23:31.092-07:00Thanks for sharing this Jeff!Jeff B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34034224.post-79767553970409291752012-02-07T01:07:58.062-07:002012-02-07T01:07:58.062-07:00Love the article!

My experience and observations tell me that companies that hire security professionals don&#39;t always fully recognize the skills and traits they should be expecting in a security professional. Your suggestion that business leaders need to understand what to protect makes a lot of sense. <br /><br />Perhaps there is a gap between what business leaders expect from a security professional and what they get from a security professional. <br /><br />Maybe there is another gap between what business leaders should be expecting and what they&#39;re not expecting from security professionals.<br /><br />At SecurityRecruiter.com, we&#39;re working on a variety of means to seal these gaps.Jeff Snydernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34034224.post-35227729275608984822012-01-02T15:11:09.383-07:002012-01-02T15:11:09.383-07:00It&#39;s, also, incumbent upon business leaders to understand what to protect. Regulatory frameworks require custodians to protect. Business leaders ignore the message to their peril!<br /><br />Intellectual curiosity is an important element of any business leader&#39;s role. Including security as a necessary element of doing business is not an option. Bridging the divide is essential to secure business practices. <br /><br />However, the security professional, as an active participant in business direction, is called to add value &amp; failing that will no longer be called!chazking@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34034224.post-56337260555265037072011-12-22T23:34:13.521-07:002011-12-22T23:34:13.521-07:00Thank you very much for posting these useful link about networking nuggets and security. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.educationrequirements.org/homeland-security.htmlHomeland security Education and job Requirementsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34034224.post-90438222662972105232011-12-20T06:37:28.177-07:002011-12-20T06:37:28.177-07:00Jeff, This is very unusual in this current job market.

Getting to the probability of a future event, like any forecasting exercise, can be somewhat subjective. Often it requires using a gut feeling, which might be more akin to art than science. So, the exercise of estimating risk does requires a new skill set, one that can sometimes be uncomfortable for a professional security manager who has not yet acquired that ability.Marvin Lamontnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34034224.post-21428773221908855652011-09-27T16:22:25.481-06:002011-09-27T16:22:25.481-06:00This is certainly one of the better blogs I have read.

Business is all about the bottom line.<br />Today more than ever, I talk with Executive leaders and Government officials that want fresh blood and creative thinkers that can cut the red tape, minimise business disruption and provide sound protection for the business resourses and information that are determined to require protection. Tight budgets, new direction, and a very Gobal competitive world are demanding Information Security Professionals looks at the business out side of the box to bring down cost and put the controls appropriate for the risks involved.

TakeDownCon (TDC) will bring together information security researchers and technical experts, both the brightest and darkest, from the corporate and government sectors to academic as well the underground, and make it into one of the world’s premier infosec event where the latest security threats are presented and debated, and vulnerabilities are disclosed and scrutinized. NOTE: TDC is highly technical, and only presentations that encompasses technical demonstrations will be accepted.<br /><br />Why TDC?<br /><br />- TDC is more focused. Concentrates on Attack and Defense, from a technical perspective.<br />- Only technical presentations will be featured<br />- No policies and management issues will be discussed. Its about hacks, cracks et all.<br />- Relaxed and casual setting. No frills. No luxuries. Thus making it comfortable for all attendees.<br />-Highly technical THROUHGOUT the event. TDC targets ONLY the technical experts, engineers, researchers (aka hackers)<br />- Affordable. We designed TDC to be accessible to the masses. Knowledge acquisition should not be hindered by financial restraints. So we will be expecting a big crowd.<br />- There are also multiple training classes available pre-event. <br /><br />TakeDownCon will make its debut in Dallas, TX from May 14 - 19, 2011.<br /><br />The call for paper is open now.
