Security has been very good to Christopher Painter, ever since his takedown of Kevin Mitnick his career and influence has replicated around the world. I met Christopher last week at eweeks Security Summit in NYC; he’s living the high life hyping fear about Security having just returned from speaking in Australia. I went to the URL of “his” website, but from what I saw this is a political hack job and that’s scary.
Richard Clark spoke about the bad Security policies of our government; ”All of you should pressure the government to do something about security. If the government was doing its job, things would be better." Richard was the Presidents Special Advisor for Cyber Security, he doesn’t work for the President anymore, but no one else has been appointed to the post of Cyber Security Advisor and that’s scary.
