I have one project that I’m looking to staff out in the East side of the beltway. It’s my secret little project that I have to turn loose into the world because I’ve done all I can do for it. It’s now time to turn it over to a decent information security manager and influence the outcome indirectly. Before you ask, no, this isn’t working directly for me, but it’s somebody inside my circle of customers.

Also my long-term goal (over the next year) is to hire somebody to work in Salt Lake City as a generalist security manager and responsible on-site adult. I figure I should start looking now because it’s going to be a long time to find somebody who lives in or wants to live in Utah and who knows how the US Government does security.
