I recently sent some employees to a seminar to get an industry-recommended security certificate. The seminar is aimed at providing education on the newest and hottest cyber threats.

With all the news of mega breaches out there, including one I just wrote about on www.esecuritydiva.com, it would seem as if an information-packed seminar such as this one would be packed with IT people, right? Actually, it was. But with public sector IT people. Private sector attendees were few and far between.

What’s going on here? This little piece of news could be a telltale:

buySAFE on YouTube in Football video

I just came across this video on YouTube about buySAFE, and I wanted to share with you.  I believe it was produced by a new employee on our team, and to be honest, I am pretty impressed with his creativity.  Clearly, it is an amateur video, but again, you have to love it when young folks take the initiative to use their skills in a creative manner.  Nice work.

Your commentary on the video are welcomed so feel free to provide comments!
