Recommended Learning Opp: Nir Zuk of PA Networks

Well this is kind of peripheral to infoSec management except that you need to keep abreast of the evolving technology to manage effectively and this is a good way to do that for firewall technology. It's a webinar on enterprise firewalls, part of a series sponsored by Palo Alto Networks and featuring Nir Zuk, their founder and CTO.

This episode of the series is scheduled for Jan 26  at 11am. Registration is free but of course, it's designed to sell their equipment and so must be taken witha healthy does of skepticism. I still recommend this because I was so impressed when I saw him make a presentation at their booth at RSA a couple of years ago. He apparently developed or helped develop the original stateful firewall and has innovated what they claim is the 'next generation' so he seems to really know his stuff and he presents really clearly and compellingly. I learned a lot from him in a short time at RSA so I'm comfortable recommending this, despite the marketing aspect. Post back here with your feedback if you watch.
