CornCon The First

I have to say I am excited!

I have wanted to host a regional security conference for a long while, and now it is about to happen.

Please join us for a premier security CON in Davenport, Iowa on October 3rd. We have dynamic world-class speakers, expert workshops, a Hacker Village, contests, CTF, swag and a rocking After Party!!

We also have a kids hacker track called "Children of the CornCon". We plan to have lots of great activities to teach kids about making/breaking and the ethics of responsible security research. Activities include: "Minecraft" Programming, Capture The Flag, Lockpicking, Cryptography and more, with awards and prizes.

Prices are discounted until September 18. On top of our insane Early Bird pricing, we are offering 10% off for Labor Day with the code: LaborDay.

Visit www.corncon.net for more information and to register NOW!

Where Is The CISO Role Going By 2018?

From my RSA 2015 panel, "When Will InfoSec Grow Up?"

What do you think? Will the CISO evolve into CIRO? Does the CISO belong under the CIO, or maybe just operational security? 

I personally think 2018 is an aggressive timeframe since many organizations still don't have a formal CISO defined and 20% of CIOs claim they don't think they need a CISO. It seems to me we need to inform the board (externally) with what a forward leaning organization should expect in a CISO and drive change from the top down, rather than bottom up.

What do people think a CISO does?
