Newby in the WSJ

August 15th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Rob Newby is my hero today. He got a mention in the WSJ, my favorite paper, (even though I canceled my subscription a couple months ago). He submitted an article to Vauhin Vara after she asked him for “tips that employees can use to do a better job using IT without violating company policies”. She listened to him in the first place because she got flamed by security folks for an earlier article she published that taught users to be savvy enough to break typical security technology and policies in place at most companies and he wrote her an email to help out. Well done.

    Cheers Jon. It wasn’t just me who tried to help her, I think I probably just submitted more volume than most, and sustained a dialog with her for a week or so. I’m pleased if it means the message is getting out even if she didn’t exactly apologise for the original article.
