When I was little, I discovered the joy of jumping on the bed. While it was fun to jump on the bed, I wanted to make it more challenging so I started to imitate the ski jumpers I had seen during the 1976 Winter Olympics and jump from my parents’ dresser to the bed. I…

I was having dinner with friends recently and one of the newer members of the group asked me what I did for a living. I told him that I worked for a cybersecurity company and his reply was, “I don’t need to worry about security – I have a MacBook.” I thought that at any…

It was a crazy week at this year’s RSA Conference in San Francisco. I always try to get a quick view of the floor to see companies old and new exhibit their wares. Unfortunately, work never sleeps when you attend a conference, and the shortage of seating at this year’s event left many, including myself,…

Back in 2005, there were a number of us in a conference room in Austin, Texas working to determine how we would structure it, what we would name it, and how to deal with the potential backlash that would come after we announced it. What is it? I’m referring to our Zero Day Initiative. It’s…
