A Press Release Is Just A Press Release

Sunday, November 1st, 2015

I recently read a post on Facebook that featured a link to one of our articles and stated that we said a company “did good work.”  As I didn’t recall ever stating that, I went to the link and it was a press release we had published from said company.  

As an “industry blog” we are going to occasionally do just that; post a press release.  We might add a little intro that lets you know how we feel, but the fact that something appears on our page isn’t necessarily a vote of confidence on our part.  It’s just industry news and nothing more.  We’ll happily let you know when something is great, but a press release is just a press release.

A PERSEC Reminder in the Wake of the OPM Breach

Monday, July 13th, 2015

We still don’t fully comprehend the full implications of the recent, massive, breach of the U.S. Government’s Office of Personnel Management’s computer files.  Specifically, we know that security clearance information was stolen and there is a great deal of personal information found on the SF86 questionnaire that is also used on the web.  For example, password hints for financial or otherwise important websites like the name of your elementary school, best friend’s name, etc.  Seriously consider changing those and keep an eye on your information.  

Remember, a little PERSEC goes a long way.  

Rest In Peace – Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee, CBE, CSt

Thursday, June 11th, 2015

We have received news that Christopher Lee has shuffled off this mortal coil at the ripe old age of 93.  The man led a full life including service to his country during World War II in the RAF and SOE.  Later, he became an international movie star and even cut a hard rock album.  

  
The man was a badass.
