As regular readers of this blog know, I am doing a software startup. This has been in the brew for several years and while I have been working behind the scenes holed up in my holiday house for the last five months, next week we officially start in earnest when Alex Smolen starts full-time and we [...]

March 29, 2007RHUL Alumni Meeting in 2008
March 26, 2007There will shortly be an announcement on the RHUL ISG web site about a proposed alumni meeting for all ex students in 2008. There will likely be a trip to Bletchly Park and similar events.
I am reliably told the announcement will look like this and there will be a form posted to register your interest.

The Problems with the PCI Data Security Standard (Part 1)
March 23, 2007I was asked by a journalist to comment on the problems with PCI. I have been meaning to summarize my thoughts on it for a while but have been putting it off due the sheer effort involved in rattling off all the problems and the lack of time. As Paul Graham says startups are not an excuse [...]
Naked Security Again
March 22, 2007SlideShare are having the words best presentation competition.
My Naked Security deck has been viewed nearly 800 times in the last 3 weeks. Of course this deck was designed to be the back drop for a speaking event and not as a brochure so it’s doesn’t translate perfectly to an online forum like SlideShare, but please vote [...]
ISM-Community Top Ten - Company Wide Business Support and Participation
March 22, 2007This post continues the series supporting the ISM-Community Top Ten and introduces the concept of Information Security Community Policing.
Security programs that are aligned to support the goals of the business and which have active participation from business units are more successful than those that don’t. By understanding the needs of each business unit and aligning your [...]
Satellite Internet Content Removed
March 22, 2007Why? My wife and others made some really good points last night and having slept on it I agree. I have a rapidly growing blog focused purely on quality information security and why risk that focus with nonsense about the art of blogging or terrible service from a service provider. People will find out about slow speeds [...]
Curphey HITB 2006 Keynote Video Presentation in Malaysia via BitTorrent
March 20, 2007I just found this today.
http://video.hitb.org/2006.html
The torrent file is here. I still haven’t got it down and watched it so down loader beware. Viega hardly slept the night before and I was dealing with the challenges of my 3rd or 4th week on the road but ………Rudy (as always) was a star in his behind the scenes prep [...]
ISM-Community Top Ten - Executive Sponsorship and Commitment
March 20, 2007Yesterday we added a provisional (alpha stage) ISM Community Top Ten to the ISM-Community web site. I will be adding more context to each item in the list via this blog; which will eventually be aggregated into a Guide to the ISM Community Top Ten (or something like that). The first topic is “Executive Sponsorship and [...]
A N Other Security Bloggers Network (Alpha)
March 20, 2007Built for fun in 15 mins using Yahoo pipes here. This is a pure mix with no additional processing. Pipes looks like it maybe a bit buggy when you start using some of the features beyond pure mixing but I still think its very cool indeed.
You can take a feed and filter out things you don’t care for. I could [...]
Closing My Loop on the SBN and Blogonomics
March 20, 2007I have just logged in to some “interesting” commentary on why I decided to leave the Security Bloggers Network. This from Alan Shimmel and this from Michael Farnum.
Of course I am not the first to get the sharp tongue (see the last sentence) of the host of the SBN Alan Shimel, or the first to reply (Amrits blog is [...]
