First and foremost, I have to say the bloggers meeting tonight was scheduled to conflict with a keynote from one of my favorite authors; Ray Kurzweil. It didn’t click until today, when I had to decide which to attend and Ray won. So I haven’t gotten to meet the bloggers I chat with online.

Adding insult to injury, I’m in a holding pattern right now by one of our service providers, who want me to do some work tomorrow and are promising details tonight…I’m hoping I can do the work tonight and make my 8:00 am session tomorrow. To make matters even worse, the provider sucks ass and we’re married to them by contract… To give you an idea of just how horrible they are, just yesterday they requested that we reduce the security of our network by opening up one of our firewalls for a particular host “to eliminate the firewall as the problem.” I lost my patience at that point and the call went south very rapidly.

Oh yeah, I was talking about RSA day 2.

Today the schedule was inverted from yesterday with a twist. Today started with three sessions ending at noon. Afternoon was three P2P sessions that overlapped five keynotes. I attended three sessions, two P2P’s and one keynote (and missed a bloggers meet-up, damnit).

My focus in the sessions was malware. I attended the following:

Practical Risk Circumvention Using Security Metrics
Botnet Live: Tracing, Chasing and Building the Case to Bust the Bad Guys
Corporate Crimeware

The peer to peer sessions I attended were:

Skype and IM at the Office: User’s Birthright or Security’s Death Sentence
Dangerous Waters: What is the Standard of Care for Outbound Content Security and Privacy?

I wasn’t able to get summary’s of those sessions posted today so I’ll go over my notes and blog about them later.
