<br>Hi Gary,<br><br>How can any security conference that has Al Gore as a keynote speaker be taken seriously? What does 'green technology' have to do with infosec? And why is his keynote the only one with the tag "<span id="ctl07_leftContent"><em>(Please note that this keynote session will not be available via webcast replay.)"? </em></span>Now there's openness for you (/sarc). What a joke.<br>
<br>I'm looking forward to your new series of columns; they were getting too infrequent on Dark Reading.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Stephen<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 2:21 PM, Gary McGraw <<a href="mailto:gem@cigital.com">gem@cigital.com</a>> wrote:<br>

<br>
Greetings from RSA. This year the marketing people outnumber the technical people 1000 to 1. There are over 18,000 people here. You do the math.<br>
<br>
I recently moved my monthly security column from darkreading to informIT. I am refocusing the column on software security and business.<br>
<br>
My first column just went live: <a href="http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1189519" target="_blank">http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1189519</a><br>
<br>
It's about a business trick that Phil Venables uses with great success---that is, using TCO to drive security into software. This shows what you can accomplish with a combination of software insight and business acumen.<br>
<br>
I'm very much interested in your feedback on my move to informIT as well as the content of this first article. Let me know what you think.<br>
