I’m about a month overdue, but I wanted to publicly post a (belated) congratulations to fellow blogger and podcaster Martin McKeay for landing a job working for Alan Shimel at StillSecure… as a blogger and podcaster!  Well, as both Alan and Martin (as well as the press release) indicate, the job is a wee bit more than simply that.  As a “product evangelist”, Martin’s already been racking up the travel miles and getting out there talking about StillSecure’s products…. but it will (and has already) include blogging and podcasting on behalf of the company, its products and its user community.

I’ve come to know Martin through the Security Round Table podcasts that we do together (with others) and also had great conversations with him face-to-face out at the Podcast and Portable Media Expo in Ontario, California last year.  He’s a great guy and a tremendous evangelist for the security industry in general and in helping people understand what they need to do to secure systems.   I’m thrilled for him that he wound up in this position through his involvement in social media… and kudos to Alan Shimel and the others at StillSecure for hiring him.  I look forward to seeing what all emerges… and maybe some day, Martin, we’ll wind up meeting face-to-face again.
