This week I have been passing security exams and working on presentations for a quickly approaching Cybercrime security event which is taking place in the Netherlands on the 28th & 29th January. For information on how to sign up visit www.globalknowledge.nl who are hosting the event. This year I am delighted to welcome Paula Januszkiewicz as a speaker. Paula has years of experience as a security auditor in Poland as well as other European countries.

She is also a fellow Microsoft MVP in Enterprise Security and an MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer. Paula was also the winner of the US Microsoft Speaker Idol contest and was a speaker at TechEd in Berlin where her session was a great success.

Now as I mentioned I have been working on all new presentations for the upcoming event. 1 particular 1 of interest for me is the “Cloudy with a Chance of Fear” session. With adoption of cloud and computing and virtualization technologies there seemed to be so many people asking security questions. So I decided after loads of research to put a session together which addresses these issues. Now if you don’t get to see the session at our upcoming Cybercrime event have no fear I will also be delivering the session at the following events:

  • Microsoft TechEd 2010 Middle East – Dubai 1st – 3rd March
  • Microsoft Tech days 2010 Sweden – 23rd & 24th March

Hopefully I will see you at one of these events. As many of you know I have been doing a lot of work designing and delivering a Social Networking Security course for the US Army. This has been a great project. Later this week I am to be interviewed by the AFN Network (Army Forces Network) in a bid to get the security message out there. So listen out, more details will be forthcoming. On the subject of Army training thanks to everyone who braved the snow at our recent event in Belgium, it was great to see you and feedback was excellent.

Finally I love silly things! I have heard of people having a fear of flying (I know I do a lot of it myself) but I have never heard of someone having a fear of flying simulators! Check it out http://www.flyingwithoutfear.com/fearofflyinghelp.html Whatever next!
