Inciting: The Security Standard

I'll be at the Security Standard show (here) September 6-7 in Boston, which is the latest brainchild of John Gallant - President of NetworkWorld and producer of Vortex. As opposed to some of the more technically oriented (Black Hat) or vendor oriented (RSA), the Security Standard is trying to target the business of security and keep it at a high level for decision makers. For those in the networking space, John's annual Vortex conference is a must attend event and I'm sure he's hoping to find similar success with this new show.

I'll be speaking on September 6 at 3:20 PM (agenda) on the strong authentication panel. Moderated by Bob Bragdon, publisher of CSO Magazine, I'll be discussing strong auth alongside folks from RSA and Entrust to get a feel for how the technology is evolving and what's important for decision makers.

Usually I'm not a fan of attending new shows because there are always kinks to be worked out, but I think this one will be an exception. Vortex is a machine at this point, so John's minions understand the logistics of these kinds of shows and the subject matter is interesting.

Hope to see you there.
