ITWeb will be holding their 2007 Security Summit. The keynotes are Bruce Schneier and Phil Zimmerman. The best part is, three of our abstracts were accepted. Nithen, Yusuf and Johann will be presenting.

I sat up one night trying to figure out what I would say to Schneier. He is one of the reasons I got into security as a job. I remember having just finished my honours degree (our first postgrad degree before a Masters) and reading Secret's and Lies. It made me realise I could turn my hobby into a job. How does one meet a 'celebrity' and not come across as a gushing teen ready to part with her bra? I don't know, but I am going to try hard to take him out to dinner.

So, if you will be near SA, or are prepared to fly here, come to the ITWeb Security Summit to watch us present :)
