January VEF Participant Wins a Kindle Fire

Post by Qui Cao January 17, 2013

As you all know, every month we host our Vulnerability Expert Forum (VEF) webinar. This is a time where our experts share valuable insight regarding new vulnerabilities that are discovered and the actions that need to be taken as a result. It’s a quick way to get up to speed on current potential risks to your organization and a way to explore the impact that high-risk vulnerabilities and exploits have on network environments and infrastructures. BeyondTrust is committed to helping security administrators reduce the workload they face by making this information easily accessible and by clearly presenting all required information to our audience.

If you haven’t attended a VEF before, I encourage you to sign up and join our next one in February. Not only will you receive a complete analysis of recently announced critical vulnerabilities from Microsoft and other software vendors but you could potentially win a Kindle product from us!

Our January winner, Victor Martinez, was awarded with a new Amazon Kindle Fire for participating in our discussion earlier this month. Here’s a little bit more about Victor and what he had to say about BeyondTrust’s VEF:

My name is Victor Martinez, study a degree in computer systems, working for 12 years in a company in Mexico in the area of monitoring and Internet security.
Knowledge of SNMP, databases, firewalls, content filtering, proxy, etc.
Currently I work in a company engaged in electronic invoicing am in the area of infrastructure and IT.

The quote is:
“Safety is paramount if we know how and where to apply it, since we have (x) amount of firewalls, (x) amount of content filtering, access lists, but if there is a security hole, security no longer exists.”

Again, congrats to Victor and thank you to all for being continued supporters of BeyondTrust and security for all. Don’t forget to join us at our next VEF and you too could possibly take home a new Kindle product! Sign up here.
