Today we're speaking with Alan Paller of the SANS Institute. For those of you who don't know, SANS is the most trusted and, by far, the largest source for information security training and certification in the world. It also develops, maintains, and makes available at no cost the largest collection of research documents about various aspects of information security, and it operates the Internet's early warning system, the Internet Storm Center. Their website is www.sans.org.

Alan is the director of research for the Sans Institute, and he's responsible for overseeing all research projects ranging from the Sans' Step-by-Step Guides to the Sans Digest to the top 20 Internet Security Tricks. He's also the founder of the CIO Institute and earned his degrees in computer science and engineering from Cornell and MIT. Alan is the author of the EIS book Information Systems for Top Managers and How to Get the Best Presentation of your Life. In 2001, the President named Alan as one of the original members of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; and in 2005, the Federal CIO Council chose him at its 2005 Azimuth Award winner, recognizing his vision and outstanding service to federal information technology.
