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.
