Great Panel Discussion

Guy moderated / posted this discussion for the Churchill Club. Energetic and informative for all those interested in starting a venture. It is definitely the successful side of the risky venture world, but still inspiring.

Happy Ventures,

How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People (And You Can Too)

Another interesting video from the Google folks.  A worthy video of anyone’s time who works in groups, but more so those who deal with rolling out projects.  Grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy… someday I will figure out how to download these (is that a contrary to these online video distribution sites?) videos so that I can watch them on the plane.  Maybe the functionality already exists, I shall have to look – if anyone knows of a way please add a comment.

Thanks to Josh Simons for pointing me to this video from his post.

Speaking today (Tuesday)!!

Today I will be presenting from an auditor’s perspective on Sarbanes Oxley (SOX, SarBox, S-OX) and databases. Specifically I will cover the primary controls auditors consider crucial and means of employing these controls. This is being presented with a database monitoring solution provider that has helped many organizations meet their SOX and other regulatory concerns (PCI DSS). Below is the communication that went out with the links for anyone interested:

Subject: Webcast Today: Database Auditing for SOX Compliance

This Webcast examines Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) database auditing problems and solutions from two unique perspectives: A SOX auditor and a CTO. The SOX auditor sets requirements that need to be met to ensure SOX database compliance while the CTO is experienced in developing and implementing enterprise activity auditing and monitoring technologies to help meet SOX compliance requirements. Attend this Webcast to gain insight into these two unique perspectives which will help you:

** Establish a best-practices approach to ensure security and
develop SOX metrics for database auditing
** Easily meet SOX requirements without diminishing productivity
** Develop strategies for meeting database activity auditing
requirements
