Welcome to the final installment of the Security Pros on Twitter (SPoT) Series on The Network View. Today we focus on a gentleman who we have followed since our very early days on Twitter: David Mortman. According to his bio, Mr. Mortman is a CSO who is currently seeking his new adventure, so if you like what you read here, perhaps you can explore working together.

Together with Alex Hutton and other leading security experts, David is one of the masterminds behind The New School of Information Security. Take a look at David’s most recent post titled Meta-Data? for a good read about the appropriate level of information that is required to have important strategic discussions about security. The post has already spawned a conversation within it’s comments.

Welcome to today’s entry in the ongoing SPoT series. Today, we are covering someone who serves a different role in security, Michael R. Farnum, who is a Pre-Sales Security Engineer for a VAR / Consulting company. Most of our SPoTs to date have been client-side practitioners, but that is most certainly not a requirement to be considered a “Security Pro”. Mr. Farnum is also known for his role in An Information Security Place, a blog which offers insightful security podcasts a minimum of once each month. The podcast discusses a range of topics, including hacking, security breaches, PCI, vulnerabilities, security/compliance audits, and cybersecurity.

Welcome to our ninth installment of Security Pros on Twitter. This week, we are featuring Alex Hutton, who “works in Risk Intelligence for a Fortune-something company”, according to his profile on The New School of Information Security blog, where Alex is one of the main contributors of content. The blog shares its name with a 2008 book authored by blog founders Adam Shostack and Andrew Stewart, and they are joined by some savvy security pros including Alex, David Mortman, and Brooke Paul. Mr. Hutton has been involved in security since the early ’90s, and we are very glad to profile him as a SPoT.

This week we look to another talented Security Pro, Mr. Andy Willingham. In his day gig, Andy serves as Information Security Officer for a Financial Services Holding Company, a role he evolved into from his extensive hands-on experience with Administrating the network. In an effort to establish and evangelize his security objectives, Andy is quite active on social media, and he also keeps his own blog titled Andy ITGuy; The voice of reason in a world of FUD. His blog highlights key events in security, latest news and developments, and his take on select topics of interest. We recommend you give a look to it to hear some of the important commentary Andy has available for your reading enjoyment.

We hope you enjoyed our previous interview with Jack Daniel. We’ve profiled some heavy hitters and thought leaders in the Security Scene, but there are a range of security professionals on Twitter with something interesting and important to say. In an effort to share a well-rounded range of SPs, today we turn our attention to a gentleman who caught our attention early in our tenure in the Twitter-sphere: Jeff Kirsch (a.k.a. @ghostnomad).
