If so, drop me a line! I'm leaving the home base here in a few hours to head there for the conference. I will be discussing personally identifiable information and why it is important to secure.
After I speak, I'll be high-tailing it to Denver International to catch a return flight home. Hope to see you there!

It's time to celebrate American Independence! I'll be taking a holiday for a few days, but will return next week. I will have a post hit on Monday though, so keep your eyes peeled (ouch?)!
I haven't written, called, emailed, faxed, or even sent you guys anything via carrier pidgeon. For that, I grovel at your feet and request my penance (tee hee, I love the occasional translation error, especially when it reminds me of the most beautiful thing I have ever seen). What have I been up to?
Last week was fun. Boston & Cincinnati in two days. Was great seeing many of you out there! Especially when a coworker and I started eating at the wrong party! This week, so far, I have met with the Visa CISP and Incident Response teams over two days, and I am headed home to fly out to Atlanta for a couple of customer meetings. If you are in town, drop me a line!
Some PCI News for you...
The PCI Security Standards Council has announced their community meetings for 2008. We will be there! They have also announced training dates for PA-DSS assessors.
I'm off to DFW!
If so, shoot me an email! I will be there for the 5th 3rd Customer event tomorrow (if I can ever get out of Boston!).
Bout to go board my jet-fueled chariot right now. If you are going, look me up on Twitter! I'm planning on taking a cab to the hotel, checking in, and seeing if any conference goings on are... going on.
See you there!
I arrive tomorrow and will see you there! Please stop by the VeriSign booth!
This month's issue of the ISSA Journal features my article on simplifying data flows entitled "Data Flows Made Easy." So far, the feedback has been positive, but what do you think?
Also in this issue, the first installment of my monthly column, "Herding Cats: Practical Security Tips for a Wacky World" (Thank YOU Fred Langston!). In here, I explore a simple tip for locating that sensitive data inside your organization.
Finally, we have another VeriSign consultant being published this month, Bindu Sundareson's article entitled "Converged Compliance Management" is included in the March ISSA Journal.
Check out the links and read up on the thought leadership that is common in the Global Security Consulting group at VeriSign!
Greetings out there! If you happen to be at eTail next week, please stop by the VeriSign booth and say "Hi!" I would be happy to discuss the NRF or Tim Callan's EV-SSL.
See you there!
Yep! Time to tackle the world! Hope everyone's holiday was fantastic.
Greetings folks! It has been quite a year. I've only been lucky enough to spend the last 5 months with you writing in this blog, but I sure had fun. I enjoy zoning out for 10 minutes on YouTube looking for silly videos that promote sanity in the workplace.
I hope you all enjoyed reading along this year... see you next year!

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by. I have been graciously asked to take over this blog as Jeff Pettorino has now left the building (and thanked you all for the fish).
Just to be forward, I am a security generalist with a technical background, but I concentrate in PCI related consulting today. I currently run the PCI Practice for our Global Security Consulting group.
I will make a commitment to you Joe Reader to balance my posts. This will not be ALL PCI, ALL THE TIME! I will be sure to post alerts that we see with links, but I will put a nice balance of things in place.
Yes, I am heavily influenced by PCI; however, many of the work that we do bleeds into other areas of the organization. PCI blazes the path for many companies, and allows security programs to flourish. I am looking forward to great interactions and frequent posts!
Let the fun begin!
