No, women are NOT well represented in leadership

Did you catch our trivia question? Be the first to reply to [email protected] with the right answer and get any $25 item from the Colorado = Security store.

Survey shows that 63% of men are bad at math... at least when it comes to evaluating women in the executive suite. Ex-CSA & NSA head Hayden tells us not to get our hopes up for the government to help out. Xero, Apple, Trimble all invest in Denver growth. Secure64 founder tells us that little DNS issues can cause big headaches. Forrester has a crush on Optiv. LogRhythm makes a splash. And a couple of security leaders land in new companies.

Yes Amazon, we REALLY want HQ2

Did you catch our trivia question? Be the first to reply with the right answer and get any <$25 item from the Colorado = Security store.

AOL Instant Messaging came out at the perfect time to be a huge part of my college and young adult life. If I had used it in the last decade I would definitely miss it leaving us. Also, aren't you supposed to play a LITTLE hard to get? Colorado legislators are not holding back telling Bezos that they want HQ2. ChannelAdvisor didn't get the red carpet, but they're coming to town anyway. Colorado accountants are building bots and collecting big data. Colorado makes the map of well funded security company hubs. Englewood's computers get pwned. One CEO is out and a new one is in at Secure64. Convercent has their big conference, and things are good for ethics companies in 2017. And Ping Identity speaks up about what makes for an effective CISO (hint- it's not about the undergraduate degree).

Sure it'll only take 14 minutes to get from Denver to Pueblo, but will the wifi work?

Feature interview:

Brian Martin (nom de plume - Jericho) is one of the most famous and infamous security community members in Colorado. In this interview Brian tells us his background (hint: it involved some illegal stuff), his hobbies (hint: they have nothing to do with computers) and where he sees the industry going. You can check out my previous interview with Jericho here. Here is the Techdirt link he mentioned, for those who want to support them. And click here if you want to support the animal rescue he tells us about.
