Just had a great meeting in Redmond introducing some government friends to Steve Riley, one of Microsoft’s “technical evangelists” on security – network, app, data security and most of all, IP security. He’s great at the big-picture integrated view of security, including physical security right up through the IP stack – here’s a video of a recent talk he gave at Microsoft’s TechNet called “The Fortified Data Center in Your Future.”
Check out his blog and you’ll see the kind of topics he works on; just one example of obvious value is a recent post full of real-world down-to-earth security advice for securing your environment at home (home networking, email use, internet browsing, etc for family and friends).
Oh, he’s also been on Twitter for almost a month now, where he mixes interesting finds on security news with offbeat political commentary :-) Yet another example of some of the bright people I meet back at the mothership in Redmond….

Good post, Lewis. I don’t think many people realize how bright some of our folks are. Your online introductions are a good way to spread the word.
I’m running a Twitter study for MS Office right now. I’ll have to check in with Steve on his experiences.
Also, did you ever get that email off to me? Should I contact you via Corpnet?
Hi Jeff – would love to hear about the Twitter study when done! I have a variety of thoughts on it, msot positive.
