Mr Muffett goes to Wall St

I’ve worked in Sun Professional Services EMEA for my longest contiguous period of my employment inside Sun; I moved from SunLabs into SunPS back in, what, late98 / early99 ? Basically about half of my career at Sun.

Prior to that I was in Systems Administration, then the Network Security Group (internal net.cops), then Network Operations (building firewalls back when that was still a black art), the SunLabs doing security R&D.

Then SunPS, culminating in my role as Chief Security Architect for the EMEA (Europe/MidEast/Africa) region.

It’s been fun, but now has come opportunity for a change.

As documented elsewhere, Sun has formed a small, “global” team to focus upon our Wall St customers – or more accurately upon key financial-related customers worldwide, albeit that New York will loom large in our interests.

I’ve been invited to do security. 😎

    Congratulations!

    Will this have any bearing on the crypticide project? I’m imagining there will be a measure more influence to be exerted in such circles with respect to changing current practices, although perhaps that speaks more of my imagination not knowing the influence available in your current position 🙂

    I see no direct linkage between the two at all. One is work. The other is a blog.

    Finally an excuse to visit some of my favorite restaurants…

    Congrats Alec – you now have the opportunity to blag SERIOUSLY LARGE quantities of money…

    Surely Alec should do a “loadsamoney!” type impression if he does.

    I wonder if it’s time he got his red Porche and a filofax.
