ASIS 2010, Just Around the Corner

With the ASIS 2010 just a few weeks away, I’m starting to get things prepared for a successful conference. Unfortunately, that means taking a hard look at my lack of contributions to the online (physec) community over the last year and miserable blog update frequency. Of course there were plenty of personal and professional reasons for this, but who wants to hear about that?

There will be another session on social media this year, but we are planing to go a little deeper into things than last year’s basic overview.
It’s amazing to see the amount of professionals and corporations that are using social media in contrast to two years ago.

Steve Surfaro (@stevesurf) is leading the session again this year and Ksenia Coffman (@KseniaCoffman) will be adding valuable B2B marketing insight. II’m glad we’ll have an opportunity to talk not only about the mechanics behind using social networking, but also techniques that have been proven effective in various security settings.  

In preparation for the conference, I’m cleaning up the shawnf/physec twitter list and getting rid of accounts that are just automatically posting news stories or cramming marketing tweets down everyone’s throat. As of now, there are around 200 physec professionals and companies on the list. If you would like to be added, or know someone who should be just let me know. If you are not already using twitter lists - there is no better way to filter tweets into manageable topics and keep from being overloaded.
