Security and privacy are sometimes used synonymously, at other times they are used as separate entities and at other times they are used as co-dependent on each other. But what is the truth? I ended up having this discussion with Brian Honan whilst at RSA Europe and he explained his point of view with this good … Continue reading Security Vs Privacy

RSA Europe 2012 hazy thoughts
RSA Europe 2012 has come to an end. It will be a memorable conference because I got the chance to be part of a panel debating whether users should be given infosec awareness training or not. It was an enjoyable experience and I can update my profile to say I’ve spoken at RSA – does … Continue reading RSA Europe 2012 hazy thoughts
How to be an Infosec Rockstar
It's the most commonly question asked by the masses. On the tip of everyone's tongue yet never answered.... until now. This is the video "they" tried to ban, but I escaped from the inner circle with Space Rogue to bring you the most revolutionary video ever - how to become an Infosec Rockstar!
(ISC)2 Congress
So I spent the last week at (ISC)2 second annual congress conference held in the city of brotherly love that is Philadelphia. Luckily or unluckily, I didn’t get to experience any brotherly love whilst there, which may be a good or bad thing – I’ll never know. The conference is co-hosted with ASIS.

I've spent the last couple of weeks travelling a bit due to work and this week I'm at the ISC2 congress conference in Philadelphia. Here are a couple of videos I've made whilst on the road - none of which relate to security!

Secploitation
I've been slacking lately with blogs and videos because I've had a lot of other things on ... or maybe because I've run out of ideas. Either way, I thought I'd adopt the tried and tested routine of rehashing old material, or rebooting as Hollywood would say in the hope that a new generation will … Continue reading Secploitation
My Blackhat, BsidesLV and DefCon Experience
This was my first trip to BlackHat, BsidesLV and DefCon. It was my first trip to the States altogether and it’s very easy for one to get overwhelmed with Vegas itself, being dazzled by the bright lights, loud music and pretty people. There have been many blog posts explaining the good, the bad and the … Continue reading My Blackhat, BsidesLV and DefCon Experience
