Security B-Sides San Francisco – Preview
Posted by SecBarbie on Thursday Feb 11, 2010 Under Women in Security, security
If you have been living under a rock somewhere and somehow haven’t heard about this revolution known as SecurityBsides, well, perk up folks! With SecurityBSides San Francisco being the second large-scale un-conferences that compliments a large corporate conference, the proposed talks are already shaping up to be something so very special to our industry! This is an un-conference that is completely powered by the people, so if you haven’t yet voted for the talks that you would like to hear, do it or don’t complain!
Here is my short-list of talks that I think are going to be wonderful
*Some are not yet picked to present, so if you agree, vote often!
The Great Compliance Debate: No Child Left Behind or The Polio Vaccine
Panel Discussion: Joshua Corman , Jack Daniel (@jack_daniel) , Anton Chuvakin (@anton_chuvakin) , Andy Ellis (@CSOAndy), a surprise guest
How to Design and Develop Your Own Security Event
My Life on the Infosec D-List
Hacking the Sales Cycle
Being Inbred Isn’t Just a Problem for Hillbillies. Groupthink and the InfoSec Industry
Risk Management – Time to blow it up and start over?
What kind of self-serving person would I be if I didn’t put a shameless plug in for the Gender Panel: Unicorns, Clubhouses, and Ruffled Feathers: Women in Security:
Rounding out the panelist this year will be:
Jennifer Jabbusch – CISO of Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc.
Andrew Hay – 2008 “Security Thought Leader” award winner by SANS Institute / Security Blogger / InfoSec Professional
Lisa Lorenzin – Crazy smart solutions architect for an organization that I’m not sure if she’s listing (you have google, figure it out yourself)
Gurdeep Kaur – Author of controversial SANS Reading Room Paper “Women in IT Security Project Management”
Michelle Klinger – Full time QSA, defender of all things saucy and womanly.

Hey – in case you hadn’t seen this: http://it.slashdot.org/story/10/02/15/1457226/Computer-Engineer-Barbie-Unveiled
“At the New York Toy fair, Mattel has announced Computer Engineer Barbie, the doll’s 126th career chosen by popular vote. The official announcement (PDF) shows her accessorizing with nerdy glasses, a Bluetooth earpiece, pink laptop, and tee covered in binary digits. The girls-only vote choose “News Anchor Barbie,” which became Barbie’s 125th career, but Mattel decided to add the Computer Engineer version after a viral outpouring of support from female IT professionals.”
