So totally saw Alex getting some major opportunities coming his way, and very much deserved. If you don't follow infosec watch the entire hour video of Mike Rogers and the Q&A that included Alex along with Bruce Schneier before him. Alex's lucid, persistent and funny Q&A raised his profile in a big way this year.
Here's the Q&A and while I do think the intelligence community actually does some decent work on occasion, the kind of doublespeak displayed by Rogers here is what really gives the IC a bad name and has lead it down bad paths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjL1WYhLx-M
I'd also very much encourage developers here to watch this presentation which is my personal favorite. Alex talk about some really smart ways to approach application security and why the idea of a traditional firewall is basically dead. Also some interesting stuff re moving away from virtualization towards containerization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1kZMn1RueI
Edit: Just wanted to add, I really hope he continues contributing talks to the infosec community as they're a great contribution.
