Good day to you,

Last year I started a series of online presentations that were geared towards IT Security education, training and awareness and they had their ups and downs. One thing that is sure is that the information needs to get out to the people but more importantly is to get the right info and resources out. While I invited people to the sessions they declined to attend only to come back with questions of a similar issue a week or two later. Many people today still don’t know how they are impacted by these security issues or how to address them. My online sessions provided critical information about such things in an effort to let people know that IT Security IS a people problem, NOT an industry one and so they must get educated and be aware of what the threats landscape looks like and where they fit into it.

So this year, 2010, we are taking it one step further and introduce a monthly online IT Security Panel discussion to help address some of the issues that are out there in the wild. My aim is that by doing this online we can/will attract a wider range of people in the comfort of their homes, workplaces and places of learning.

I have met and talked with a few security experts who will be joining us at different levels of the security space to help to make this valuable and resourceful. More details will be posted as the sessions are aligned with the panelists so stay tuned.

Thank you and have a great day,
