The former NYPD Detective and media contributor on Fox News and the Don Imus show, founder of Beau Dietl & Associates, subject of a film where he was played by Stephen Baldwin, and Chairman of the New York State Security Guard Advisory Council was featured on Jon Stewart's show for being himself burglarized. What's funny is that his description of what happened, particularly his focus on the security measures he had in place but that weren't used, follow the well worn pattern of responses one typically hears after an information security breach (but we were PCI compliant, we had IDS in place, it was a sophisticated attacker, everyone gets hacked, and so forth).]]> http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2010/04/bo-dietl-lost-his-guns/feed/ 7 Microsoft’s Google Attack Patch? http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2010/02/microsofts-google-attack-patch/ http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2010/02/microsofts-google-attack-patch/#comments Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:18:26 +0000 Prefect http://praetorianprefect.com/?p=3421 George V.
