> What does 'green technology' have to do with infosec?

Data centerers worldwide use at least 3% of all global electricity. With the growing cost of oil/power - most large corporations are looking for ways to reduce power consumption at their data centers. Google is building new database centers near cheap power, cheap land, and cheap water. Sun has "bet the farm" on Green issues. IBM and Intel have green/sustainability departments as well.

Hi Gary,

How can any security conference that has Al Gore as a keynote speaker be taken seriously? What does 'green technology' have to do with infosec? And why is his keynote the only one with the tag "/(Please note that this keynote session will not be available via webcast replay.)"? /Now there's openness for you (/sarc). What a joke.

I'm looking forward to your new series of columns; they were getting too infrequent on Dark Reading.

Cheers,
Stephen

    Hi sc-l,

    Greetings from RSA.  This year the marketing people outnumber the
    technical people 1000 to 1.  There are over 18,000 people here.
     You do the math.

    I recently moved my monthly security column from darkreading to
    informIT.  I am refocusing the column on software security and
    business.

    My first column just went live:
    http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1189519

    It's about a business trick that Phil Venables uses with great
    success---that is, using TCO to drive security into software.
     This shows what you can accomplish with a combination of software
    insight and business acumen.

    I'm very much interested in your feedback on my move to informIT
    as well as the content of this first article.  Let me know what
    you think.
