I just realised that its been a year since I posted a blog post - Information-centric Security is Dead.
Ironically enough, next week I am presenting at a Security Summit on, well, Information-centric Security.
The article, I believe is one of my most important ones. Information-centric security is not really dead. But it is a stepping stone. Read my last blog post and the one linked above together and you will see what I believe is the most exciting and important development in our industry, probably since Firewalls.
If you aren't busy next week Tuesday then maybe come see me talk. It'll be fun, I'll make jokes. Promise.

ITWeb Security Conference
[Our heroic writer gets interviewed by the Press and gets ready to knock some socks off at ITWeb Security Summit]
In the run-up to the ITWeb Security Summit, I have been interviewed about my Information-centric Security speech.
I'm looking forward to the conference. It will the first time that I am presenting and I think that this year is going to be great. There are a lot of new technologies and concepts that are going to make this year exciting.
At work I have been working hard at planning my next year and I am very excited about that too.
There is some Information-centric Security in there but lots of other stuff. It is going to be a busy year.

More Fame... Where is the Fortune?!
[The Highly Esteemed Author Presents At ITWeb Conference]
I applied and my presentation was accepted to be presented at the ITWeb Security Conference.
If you have read my Blog posts then there will be very little new information in the presentation. However, I do tie my thoughts together in one big "this is where you should be going" session. It will be on the management track so I should be expecting some high level thinkers and, yes, the presentation is very high level.
Even though I am now involved, I highly recommend this conference for all that can make it. I missed out in 2007 but the twice that I attended (2006, 2008), I certainly came out with some mind blowing insights.
I also highly recommend that management don't have the mindset: "we need to think about this security stuff" and then send their IT Guy but rather that they make the effort to send someone who can make business decisions. Even better - send both. That is why there is a management stream and a technical stream.
The reason I promote this event (and I really don't get commission) is that it is the only major event in South Africa with an Information Security focus. I believe that management at any company should make an effort to stay in touch with what is happening in Information Security.
Unless you don't use information or none of your information is private.

$M$
Another off topic posting. For an information security blog - I'm not doing so well... but then I never promised that I would. And this is my second post in one day!
According to the wikipedia: The first commercial SMS message was sent over the Vodafone GSM network in the United Kingdom on 3 December 1992, from Neil Papworth of Sema Group (using a personal computer) to Richard Jarvis of Vodafone (using an Orbitel 901 handset). The text of the message was "Merry Christmas".
That was 15 years ago. According to an article in itweb SMS revenues are to hit $67 Billion by 2012. Their source is Portico Research.
Thats a lot of beep-beep-ing money.
