2010 Rearview Mirror
January is a time of reflection and renewal, thinking about the past year and the present one. We use this time to measure ourselves and set or renew goals, pointing our inner compass needles towards our own True North.
Looking back, 2010 was a successful year for me. I didn’t get to do some things or attend all the conferences I wanted, but other items were handily accomplished and some good work got done!
Foremost, I partnered with IOActive, Consciere, and Insyndia to do consulting work. This led to interesting security audit, risk assessment and vulnerability assessment work and I was fortunate to meet and work with some great people. Shouts-out to Erin Jacobs, Glenn Kaleta, David Baker, Tab Pierce, and Joel Scambray in particular!
I also earned my CISA which gives me a stronger understanding of formally auditing information security environments. Now, I’m thinking of how to use this new-found knowledge and where I’ll go next.
What will 2011 bring? As I chart this year’s course, I intend to visit new shores, make new acquantances, and continue to grow as a person and infosec professional. I welcome the journey and it’s challenges!
Be well friends…
