Join Bushel At The Aces Conference For ACNs
At Bushel, we spent a good year hiding from the public. We met with select customers to learn more about what they needed and wanted and didn’t do much of the conference or event type of thing. That’s because we were so busy working on our product that we didn’t have that much time to talk about what we were up to. That’s changing. We brought in a few more people in the past month and now we’re ready to really get out there! For More On Bushel’s Presence At The Aces Conference, Click Here

Learning iOS Security Now Available for Pre-Orders
Boom. 3 books in about 6 months. The next, and likely last for a few months at least, book is finally ready. Written with Allister Banks, Learning iOS Security is a look into iOS Security for those coming to the Apple platform. It’s meant for business, enterprise, infosec. The first chapter, as I’ve done in a few previous books, was written as a quick and dirty “oh, this is all you’re gonna’ read, cool” type of thing. In security, 90 percent (or more) of the work is done in the first 10 percent of the time. I have this theory (unproven) that each percent represents a j curve in cost…
