Thrice welcome!

Hi there!! Welcome also to the world of insane people who practice information security, such as Manuel and myself (well OK, mostly me.) I'm Pete Hewitt, and I work as a Senior Risk Analyst at a major financial firm. I have a bunch of letters after my last name that may or may not be relevant to information security (GAWN, GCWN, GCFA, GCIH, GWAS, CISSP, CISA, CPA if you must know) and like Manuel am a SANS course author. In fact, Manuel and I have written a SANS "Stay Sharp" course on Web Browser Forensics that we'll be occasionally discussing (*ahem* shamelessly promoting *ahem*), and we'll also be pontificating on forensics and incident response, locking down systems, network monitoring and architecture, and other things that either interest or annoy us (or both) about information security. We of course appreciate any and all responses, good or bad, to our postings.
