« Security Dream Team | Main | Some Keys to SOA Security »

Regular readers to this blog might have heard me mention once or twice (or even thrice) and the day is finally here. Today is the day for the SOA Security Roundtable.

Today, this afternoon, at high noon...and if you would just indulge me and allow me to carry the metaphor a little further, imagine a dusty old Western three-horse town circa 1870. On one side of the street, at the Firewall Tavern, are the crusty old cowboys who still insist that putting a barbed-wire perimeter around the town will stop the horse thieves from riding into town and stealing their livestock.

Across the street is the SOA Saloon, a bar with all modern fixtures, and these cowboys like to ride the bucking broncos of high tech (which at this point is this newfangled storage device they're calling the Lazy Susan). They want to open up the town, give everyone a stake, allow everyone in the town to be a task-master over whatever task they reckon to accomplish (yeah, I know, but it's early, and I'm having a hard time cooking up a cup of coffee on this here campfire). But the folks at the SOA Saloon know that this will also increase the risks, and give those horse thieves a great many more areas to infiltrate and attack, so they need better protection, better security tools.

And in front of the Agility Hotel the old clock is marking time, the second hand slowly sweeping around the dial. Both sides watch and wait, because once it hits twelve noon, high noon, both sides are coming out with guns a-blazing.

Yep, that's right, it's gonna be the gunfight at the You're-Not-OK-Until-You-Attend-the-Roundtable Corral. Get a ringside seat right here.
