Global Security, Privacy, & Risk Management

Chris Speaking at Piracy Week Hamburg- April 23-26, 2012 April 17, 2012

I am off to Hamburg, Germany next week to speak at the 11th Annual Combating Piracy event sponsored by Hanson Wade.  If you are in Germany, come by.  Hanson Wade puts on some great events.  I am speaking for Guardian Maritime Security on the topic of CyberSecurity in the Maritime Industry.  Last year I spoke on deterrence theory and the Value of armed guards in the protection of vessels.   Protection Vessels International (PVI) will be giving an update on the Evolving and Complex Tactics of Pirates.

As usual, some company will speak on “selecting a security vendor” in an attempt to win business.  I would think for 4K Euros people would expect to hear more than a sales pitch from a struggling company…but…I digress.

I am actually excited about attending to catch up with some friends, talk to new clients and most importantly…eat at Subway. That’s right..there is a Subway sandwich store in Hamburg, Germany!  Many people are unaware that Marine Corps Snipers and Subway have a long history together.

I may be taking a short hiatus while in Germany but will get back to writing as soon as I return.
