I have a new TechEd destination this year: Brazil. It’ll be my first time to speak at our event there; indeed, even my first time to travel to South America. I’m looking forward to it. The event runs during 14-16 October 2008 . I’m delivering the same four presentations I gave at TechEd US (and have...

What's on your mind? What do you want to learn more about? Tell me, tell me... Oh, and for 2009 I plan to stay at TechEd US for both weeks. I want to start spending more time with developers -- they need some security love too :)

Contrary to popular belief, the rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Well, ok, no actual rumors, but hey, one can dream, huh? My spring calendar was full of events in Asia and Australia, then TechEd US seemed to suddenly appear out of nowhere! So I've been kinda swamped. I've missed writing...

TechNet Spotlight features videos of many presentations from our TechEd conferences. Here are some of mine. It's 11:00 PM, do you know where your data is?

Hello everyone! Yes, it's been a while since I've written. I've been pretty busy lately with a security roadshow in Southeast Asia. It's become an annual thing, it's a lot of fun, and I get to spend a good amount of time in what's becoming my favorite area of the world. Anyway, the planning for TechEd...

Two weeks ago I delivered my Windows Vista System Integrity presentation at the TechEds in New Zealand (Auckland) and Australia (Sydney). It was largely the same as the presention at TechEds in America and India, but updated to reflect changes made in the product between the time I wrote the presentation...

One of my favorite new security features in Windows Vista is Mandatory Integrity Control (MIC). It’s a classical computer science concept from the 1970s that’s finally getting its first commercial implementation—and of this I’m quite proud. While discretionary access control lists (DACLs) are useful...

So it would seem that a statement I made during TechEd US last week in Boston has mildly stirred a bit of controversy -- no surprise there, I guess, heh. One of my presentations gave an overview of what's new in ISA Server 2006 ( download your copy of the release candidate or try it out in some virtual...

Those of you who've seen me speak at various events know that I like to play my own music before the presentations begin. In industry parlance, this is called "walk-in music." My experience, though, is that many times the music they provide is better described as "walk-in, lie down, and go night-night...

In my presentation on remote access at TechEd, I gave three scenarios: web-based access to internal resources, published with ISA Server "desktop over the Internet" using Terminal Services and the remote desktop web connection full IP-based virtual private networks with L2TP+IPsec In the...

Ah well, antother TechEd has come and gone. These have become my most favorite events -- the amount and quality of customer interaction simply increases year after year. You know you guys are really finally starting to understand it all! :) I get better questions that show a higher level of understanding...

This year at TechEd I have three sessions. The policy talk is really a lot of fun, I guarantee it'll make you think! The privacy talk I am co-presenting with my good friend Byron Hynes ( http://spaces.msn.com/members/byronphynes ). Security policies? Ugh, just give me a firewall Start | Programs ...
