Ok, so that’s not my “real” title. But recently I was asked to present in place of my company’s President, and this was the title bestowed to me by a marketing individual. In the press release, my title was listed as “Global Manufacturing Cloud Security Lead”. After I regained my composure from laughing hysterically at this misnomer, I replied-all to the message (which also included the President and the CFO in the message) jokingly requesting a raise and corner office.
All jokes aside, I will be presenting on October 11th, 2011 at Automation Alley in Troy at the event titled “A Day in the Clouds: Cloud Computing as a Growth Catalyst” on Secure Cloud Utilization Strategies. I’ll be discussing types of cloud security models, potential security issues, and how to mitigate those risks in the cloud.
Below is a link to the event on Automation Alley’s website, as well as some others that have picked up the story. If all goes well perhaps a video recording of the event will also be made available.

Funny looking back at this now, many years later and starting a new job with AWS soon. At the time of this presentation, I had 0 clue what I was talking about. Now, I’m a bit further along (maybe 0.1 clue) but it was a great experience speaking and I think I did relatively well. Adapt and overcome, as we said in the Marine Corps.
