Tech Ed EMEA 2008 IT – Day 3, Security

Following a strong recommendation from Robert, I attended a couple of talks by Steve Riley (Senior Security Strategist for Microsoft). The first presentation was titled ‘21st Century Networking: throw away your medieval gateways’, the second was ‘Do these ten things or get 0wn3d!’. Steve has to be one of the best speakers I have ever seen, In each case he wandered round the auditorium keeping everyone entertained while at the same time getting across a very important message.  I cannot recommend his talks strongly enough. If you get the chance to hear him speak (I would say on any subject, but frankly it will be security with probably some politics thrown in), do so! If you’re at Tech Ed EMEA IT, Steve still has sessions on Thursday.
