People Aren’t Puppies

October 25, 2010

Mike Murray, Managing Partner of MAD Security and lead instructor of The Hacker Academy has been on a speaking rampage and from the looks of it things will continue that way for a while.  Last week Mike followed a talk given by the President’s White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt.  They spoke to about 300 people at the first TSA (Transportation Security Administration) Cyber-Security Summit.  There were people from TSA, other government agencies as well as corporations within the transportation industry, railroads, airlines… Social Penetration was the topic of Mike’s talk mixed with security awareness, the good, the bad and the ugly.  To sum it up people are not puppies and such don’t deserve to be treated that way.  Question to ask when working on security awareness within your organization…how do we know if what we are doing is working.  If you are lucky enough to hear Mike’s talk you will have that answer :)
