About Akshay on the business of security
This blog has been written with a purpose of sharing the experiences I have had with helping large enterprise customers set up information security programs. It talks about the pains and triumphs, challenges and absurdities of securing our digital assets. I will also talk about my other passions - management and financial analysis especially how they relate to information security.
Why should you spend your time here?
Maybe its because I'm Microsoft InfoSec team's Practice Manager for North America. What that means is that i'm responsible for leading the consulting business that acts as a bridge for information flow between Microsoft's internal security team and our greater ecosystem. In previous avatars, i've been a security consultant dealing with the complexities of application security, threat modeling and vulnerability research. Maybe because I did graduate work on stopping worms at the Security Lab at UC Davis.
Mostly, i'm hoping that its because this blog will not be a mere collection of trackbacks and links to other content. It will be an analytical view of business problems and creative solutions.
