The blog includes a collection of short statements/thoughts designed to make it easy to read, informative and if lucky occasionally humorous.

I smell a RAT, last week McAfee revealed Operation Shady RAT, an investigation of targeted intrusions into more than 70 global companies, governments, and non-profit organizations during the last five years.

Security thought leadership and experts like Dmitri Alperovitch (Operation Shady RAT in Vanity Fair) is one reason why I joined McAfee.

Alex Thurber spent last week in South Africa talking his SaaS off with partners and why not since Gartner is projecting this market to grow 20+% in 2011 and to double in size from $10B in 2010 to $21.3B by 2015.

Is this the cloud model for the public sector? Orange County CTO describes journey to IT as a Service.

At a partner event last week I was talking data center with several partners who told me, “It is no longer about securing infrastructure it is about securing data wherever it is at.”

Securing the data center…now its personal.

The Tweet of the week comes from DaveMarcus (who was recently rated a top 10 security expert to follow on twitter): “Getting a Mohawk at Defcon’s MohawkCon…” it’s the perfect look for football season.

As always I appreciate any feedback. Please comment below.
