In 2008, the publication of Secrets Stolen, Fortunes Lost, proved to be the entree to a great many speaking engagements.  Once again, I was invited to NATO’s information assurance conference, and to the AFIO annual intelligence symposium.  All in all 2008, saw a diverse and exiciting schedule of events, all of which served to continue to increase the awareness of both the security practitioner, as well as, the executive suites on the need to protect company’s intellectual property.
