Great meeting of ISSA at Noblis. I got to talk to Alex and told him I need conference and journal paper support. He says he is willing to help. Let's see where it goes. I have emailed him. Also, Christopher Porter of Verizon gave a fantastic talk on Verizon's security breach of data; very eye opening. I spoke with him after the talk and asked for his PowerPoint. He agreed to give it to me. Also, I asked him about mobile security and if I can talk/interview people at Verizon who are gurus in it. He agreed to put me in touch with those who actually certify the phones before they go out and anything else I might be interested in. I just emailed him and am hopeful. Finally, Dr. Ron Ross is giving a talk on June 20, 2013 on NIST 800-53 revision 4 which he had mentioned to me over the phone. I will be attending and I will also read the paper. I think this paper will help me tremendously.
