Kevin Mitnick to speak at Voxeo’s Customer Summit

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Kevin Mitnick, the world’s most famous (former) hacker will be the keynote guest speaker at Voxeo’s Customer Summit, June 21-23 at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Resorts Orlando.

Kevin drew headlines and a prison sentence in the summer of 1999 related to a 2-year computer hacking spree in which he gained unauthorized access to computer systems at some of the largest corporations on the planet and penetrated some of the most resilient computer systems ever developed. Today, he has his own consulting firm, and is one of the world’s most sought out experts in exposing the vulnerabilities of complex operating systems and telecommunications devices.

Kevin Mitnick presented The Art of Deception at a previous Voxeo event. This time, he’ll present The Art of Intrusion: How Hackers Compromise Your Security and What You Can Do About It. Summit Attendees will hear the hair-raising details of real-life computer break-ins, how the perpetrators hacked in, and how they successfully covered their tracks. Both techies and non-techies alike will enjoy hearing Kevin’s talk.

The Faces of Voice Biometrics Conference 2010 – a photo set

Monday, May 10th, 2010

At the Voice Biometrics Conference 2010 last week at the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City, NJ, I brought my DSLR along and shot photos of the speakers and the event site. I captured images of most of the speakers of the second day and some of the speakers on the first day. After sorting through the images, I uploaded a set to our Flicker account:

voicebiocon2010.jpg

You can view the set of photos or view the set as a slideshow.

If you are one of the speakers pictured and would like a higher-resolution image, feel free to email me.

P.S. I also have a set of photos of Manhatten that I’m working through… the Hyatt Regency provided some incredible views to shoot. Stay tuned for those to be posted…
