The instagram debate over in one comic.
Never judge a risk by the probability of success. Judge it by the value of the goal.
So today I saw this audit from the state of Kansas on their network security today and it really has me thinking.
The report says that on average their servers have 21 KNOWN vulnerabilities:
So it got me wondering:
- Is this average for all state governments or is Kansas just that far behind?
- What can be done to bring network security in state governments up to corporate standards?
- Why is it so hard to get state government to take network security seriously?
Today I had a pretty light schedule so I spent a lot of time listening to panels and walking around the floor.
I found out Dell is partners with a drone company. For $60,000 you can have one:
Even at Dell they hate Patch Tuesday:
I also spent some time watching Cory Edwards rock out his panel:
Yesterday was the second day of Dell World. I started off the morning hosting an panel in the Dell Wold Social Area:
With some of the smartest people in the industry:
After spending the afternoon learning about the new generation of Dell servers and cloud offerings I then spent some time playing video games and looking at some seriously cool stuff:
Information Week was offering this which almost made up for all those “We need to verify your information” calls:
Today was the first day of Dell World.
I didn’t have anything until late morning so I spent the first part of the day hanging out at Texas State Capitol:
After that I spent the morning listening to the Dell leadership team talk about the future of the company at an “apple-esque” press conference.
In the Afternoon I was invited to take part in the #Innoit think tank. Which was one of the neatest things I have done and it was filled with some of the smartest people I have been around.
Of course we ended the night with food trucks and music.
Vision is not the ability to see the future. It’s the ability to see an opportunity in your current situation and follow it.
Vision fades. So leaders must continually remind, refresh,and restate it.
