October 7, 2009 - Bootcamp #2

Mike's Pep Talk:

"It would be better if you begin to teach others only after you yourself have learned something."
-- Albert Einstein

I am a fortunate guy. The journey I'm on continues to amaze and astound me. I viewed The Pragmatic CSO as my opportunity to give a little back based on all of the great people that have taught me the ropes through the years. Though I've been pretty much silent over the past year on P-CSO activities, I still like to give back and when the opportunity presents itself to give folks that haven't been exposed another chance to get Pragmatic.

Once again, I'm happy to partner with the folks at the Business of Security site to run a series of webcasts and virtual peer group sessions to run folks through the boot camp I put together a few years ago. In this kind of economic environment, it's all the more critical that every security professional be focused on adding value and selling the benefits of security. Being Pragmatic is certainly a time-proven method to doing that.

The first session doesn't cost anything and will be held this Tuesday via webcast. I'll run through the P-CSO process and then dive into the first section of the P-CSO - "Plan to be Pragmatic." I'll also go into the beginning of Section 2 - "Building Your Pragmatic Security Environment."

Even better, through the generosity of the Business of Security folks (and my employer, eIQ) I'm able to offer attendees to the session a 50% discount on the book and/or PDF. But to get the discount, you'll need a special discount code that will be provided during the session. 

SO, if you've been waiting to for the price of the P-CSO to come down - this is your chance.

There will also be a special discount for folks that want to participate in the follow-on sessions when I present the rest of the boot camp. More details will be available during the session.

Here is the link to the registration page. I hope to see you on Tuesday.
