Dilbert Meets The Computer Security Industry
My former boss at Foundstone, Mark Curphey, has moved on from Foundstone and into his holiday house in the South of France while he builds a prototype for a new start-up. Man, I want to move on like that.
--Caution: Links contain some words that may not be appropriate for some audiences.---
As the leader of Foundstone and serious crypto guy, Mark has some interesting observations. While his own new blog has some serious security stuff and will be following the ups and downs of a brand new start-up, he has also started a blog poking fun at the security industry in general. Each week they publish a cartoon via RSS. In future they will have online Bulls--t Bingo which will drive a BullBoard Top 10.
The cartoons are an indicting, inside look at the computer security industry. You'll chuckle as you nod your head. Spot-on as my Brit friends would say. If you're a fan of Dilbert or Get Your War On, you'll love the dialog in these cartoons. My only regret is we don't get a daily dose.
Maybe some humor will clean up the industry? If not, at least it should make you chuckle.
