#100DaysofTruth – Week One

If you follow me on Twitter or LinkedIn, you may have noticed that I started a new campaign. The name of the campaign is #100DaysofTruth, and it’s a pretty simple concept. Each day at 8:00am CDT I’ll post a new truth about information security, one per day. See?! Simple. I have two reasons for doing […]

UNSECURITY Podcast Episode 23 Show Notes

[My Notes (Evan)] <— tuple nested within a list, but my syntax sucks. 😉 Happy Saturday! Friday came and went before I could get this update done. It was good to spend the entire week at home (finally). Reconnecting with the people I love is refreshing for my soul. Had a great week! Hope you did […]

UNSECURITY Podcast Episode 22 Show Notes

Happy Friday from the road (again)! Sitting in a Buffalo, NY Starbucks writing these notes. I guess it beats Brighton Beach (SC) or Hackensack (NJ).  Some of these notes are Brad’s and some are mine. Brad took a 5:45am flight out of Rochester this morning, and I have a later flight. He started these notes […]

UNSECURITY Podcast Episode 21 Show Notes

I’m a little less late with the show notes this week. This week, Brad and I are back together. Brad’s back from his vacation, I’ve been back from mine, and now we’re in Rochester working on some projects. It’s always good to have Brad back, and I’m looking forward to a good week. Last week’s […]

Status Update – March 24, 2019

Just got to the hotel in Aberdeen. Getting into the groove, and I felt compelled to share an update with you all. Compelled mainly because I haven’t been able to write here nearly as much as I had intended. It’s not unusual for me to bite off a little (or a lot) more than I […]

UNSECURITY Podcast Episode 20 Show Notes

Late again. Hopefully, I’ll be back on track with getting these show notes posted on Friday like they’re supposed to be. Two weeks ago, I was out. Last week, I was back, but I was stuck in New Orleans. This week, Brad is out and I’m in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Confusing. Such is the life […]

UNSECURITY Podcast Episode 19 Show Notes

Well, I planned to post this on Friday. Good intentions will get you… I have good reason, at least I think I do, for the delay. I was on vacation last week, and I promised my lovely wife that I wouldn’t work. It’s always a good idea to keep your word with the ones you […]

UNSECURITY Podcast Episode 18 Show Notes

Each Friday, I’m going to do my best to post the notes for the UNSECURITY Podcast episode that Brad Nigh and Evan Francen (me) will record on the following Monday morning. Each week, Brad and I alternate leading episodes, so I lead the odd episodes and Brad leads the even ones. If you missed episode […]

You Want to Get Into Security? – Part 5

This is a five-part series about getting a job, keeping a job, and staying healthy as you progress in your career as an information security professional. There is no one way to do things, rather there are many. I won’t cover all advice, or THE advice, I will offer my advice. Some of the information […]
