As in, The Rock Star.
Bill Brenner from CSO Online posted an article this morning, Security Geeks: From Isolation to Rock Stars, in which he quotes our very own Dave Lewis.
“My site was borne out of necessity,” he said. “I had a hard time finding articles on security when I started 10-11 years ago. I realized a lot of other people had the same problem, so I started posting stories and it eventually morphed into a blog. This has been a necessary evolution, the move from the parents’ basement to the new-media-empire-types many have become through the likes of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and blogging.”
This guy is fascinating to me. In all seriousness, I’d love to write a short biography but I’m fairly certain he would not be on board with that. Actually, the routes taken by most security professionals to get where they are are fascinating as most of them didn’t start out saying “when I grow up I want to be a Public Sector Security Wonk!”
Nicely done Dave, glad to see he got you before the trek to HacDC!
