[ISECOM-news] ISECOM at CISO Summit Switzerland

[Pete H. <pe...@is...>]

The CISO Summit at Geneva will be a big deal as we found out last time
ISECOM was there.  It's one of those "anyone who is anyone" in business
is there. So I'm happy to say we'll be there again and hope to see you
there!  Nick Mayencourt and Martin Rutishauser of ISECOM Switzerland
will be there to talk about the myth of patching as well as the
practicality (or necessity) of VOIP security.  If you've never been,
consider it now:
