Enclosed is my presentation "The Executive Guide to Information Security" given at the 2006 WesCorp CFO Forum event. The presentation is an enhanced podcast meant for viewing in Apple iTunes, Quicktime, or via an iPod. Click on this link to download the presentation or view it in Quicktime. The podcast is an overview of information security and risk management aimed at an executive management audience.
 

I have been doing quite a bit of research on enhanced podcasts. Enhanced podcasts allow the publisher to insert chapters and additional graphics to the podcast file. For my purposes, this means I could take a presentation, break it up into chapters, and re-insert the slides from the presentation to each chapter. The listener could then review the presentation with the slides.
 
I will be posting an enhanced podcast of my 2006 WesCorp CFO Forum presentation on information security. Here's how to use it in iTunes.
 

I thought I would use a few blog posts to discuss sales - in this case the sale of information security products and services. As someone with overall responsibility for security, I receive at least 5 calls per day from people that I do not know that are trying to sell me a product. I am sure that I am not alone in this endless string of unsolicited phone calls. Don't get me wrong - I'm not an unfriendly person and I definitely recognize the value of networking and relationships.
