The annual Secure360 conference kicked off yesterday in St. Paul with pre-conference sessions. Secure360 is the major upper Midwest security conference and has become a US national event, now in its 11th year (I think!).
I'll be pretty busy at this year's conference. I've actually spoken at every Secure360, but this year I did a half-day seminar yesterday on BYOD, and tomorrow I've got back-to-back talks - one on the Insider Threat I call "The Accidental Insider" (blog post), and one on authentication "3 Factors of Fail" (blog series starts here). Slides for all are on my slideshare site.
I've got a wide variety of topics to cover!
And that's what is so cool, and critical, about conferences.
