I spent a number of days at the FOSE / GovSec show in DC put on by the 1105 Media Group and had some good conversations with a number of folks over there. The show itself like all others has clearly shrunk in size but there seemed to still be quite a bit of energy on the show floor and in the sessions.

Over the years I have talked to many sharp industry luminaries about new technologies and the security issues inherent in implementing them that we need to be aware of.
