Rational Survivability

If any of my readers are interested in attending the InfoWorld Virtualization Executive Forum in San Francisco on February 4th, 2008, I have complimentary passes available (a $795 value)

You might remember that when InfoWorld first ran this forum in New York, I was grumpy because there were no topics/speakers focused on security.  I contacted them and expressed my concern.  Alan Shimel doubted anything would come of my kvetching, but lo and behold, the organizers invited me to come and present at this show in February.

So, if you believe in something strongly enough, good things *do* happen 😉

I am speaking (the last speaker of the day — all that stands between the audience and beer…is me!) so come on down and heckle me:

  Addressing Security Concerns in Virtual Environments
Easy
to create and easy to move, introducing a new software layer between
hardware and operating system, and operating over virtual networks as
well as physical ones, virtual servers present a new order of security
risks and challenges. This session will explore the impact of
virtualization on network and host security, how security solutions
providers are beginning to address them, and the best practices that
are emerging for securing virtual environments.

If you’re interested in attending free of charge, ping me via email and I’ll give you the details in order to register.

Hope to see you there!
