Looking for a new career opportunity

Dear All,

As you may know I’m looking for a new career opportunity.

Many of you knows me because we have been working together in Europe or USA in one of my previous work experiences, including Cisco, Ironport, Symantec, BrightMail, Mondadori Informatica and so on, or met in conferences and events.

With over 16 years of experience in the leadership of IT product development, project management, marketing, and representation and as a reputable and renowned contributor to the tech industry particularly within the security community, I think I have often provided outstanding results and proved my soft and technical skills, but the situation now force me to ask for support.

 

If you know of any position I could be right for I would really appreciate if you could share it with me, I would prefer an EMEA position (would allowed me to move from home to work without relocate) but anything could fit my skills would be appreciated.

Thank you for your support and wish you all the best

Antonio

 

Diary of an acquisition part1

Ok I know many of us experienced this kind of trip once in a lifetime.

I have travelled acquisition a lot of times, when mondadori informatica was absorbed  by the mother comany mondadori, when brightmail become part of symantec, when symantec acquired veritas software and moved all european management to veritas, and at the end when cisco systems acquired Ironport.

All acquisitions means change and most of the changes are not well accepted, but I’m a long traveller on the seas of IT company and I’m quite used to changes so what has meant to me an acquisition?

The last the better, They use to say, and so I will talk about my experience from IronPort to Cisco, it will be useful to me to analyze what have happened and what means to me.

Chapter one: I used to be happy
Geez guy life in a succesfful startup is great.
I know lot of work and respnsability, but there is a sense of team, a common vision that ispire and drive us towards results.
Usually managers  and company expert use to say that a company is made by it’s people, well it is not the truth for big groups, where roles are usually overtaking the human part, but it is the truth for startup.

For the good or for the bed we’re on the same ship, take risk together and win or loose together. Ok better spirit when you win that when you loose of course. 😉

It was amazing working in IronPort, people was nice and supportive, and they give you that strange feeling like you can make a difference. Sometimes you have had something to complain (who does not) but at the end the humanity was very satisfactory…. And I have had a lot of fun and success.

One of the reason was the product, the email security appliance from IronPort was and it is still now the state of the art in this kind of tecnoogy, the other was the team: Domenico wasis a sales war machine, the partner were so focused and the comany were listening customer needs and react prompty to customer needs and market changes.

Very very good indeed, a strong team, a strong company a strong product: goals were accomplished and overachievement was “easy”.

Lot of work, and was all in one, technical, consulting, sales, marketing, pre and post sales. Fun fun and fun. 🙂

Is Big C missing the point on security?

Image via CrunchBase

Big company are really suited for security? This is what comes to my mind when we see what Cisco, HP and Co. do when we talk about security.

Are they really able to focus on the innovation and development that security require? I  can talk about what I know so i will express my mixed feeling about Cisco and Security.

For long times Cisco has not been perceived as a big player in the security space, beside the fact PIXASA is the most sold firewall in the world.

But honestly we should not only consider the magnitude of the numbers but also why and how companies buy a product. Alas seems to me that ASA success blind Cisco eyes to the reason where sold so many pieces… ASA wasis seen as a commodity. when you buy some million hardware equipment you can also add some ASA, they cams with the flaw.

So Cisco has never really realized what security selling is, but sold a lot so why do not expand the business. As ususal when you want to expand the business the first thing you do is to acquire someone, like Ironport for example, and Scansafe. but then?

To be honest this is not only a Cisco Issue : acquisitions seems to be the mainstream activity of those years in security, everyone think that becoming bigger will means to be stronger… not sure it is always the truth….

But to be successful in security require a log term plan, investment and specialized people in sales and technical aspects. And security is not just a product is a stream of solution that have to address something.

So let’s take a look at Cisco offering to understand if we can find any trace of this vision.

Cisco presented it’s Borderless Network Vision replacing the “old” self defending network message in order to push the acceleration in new network and security equipement sales.

The core fo the message was, lan has no more borders, so you have to change your way to think. I think the message is right and appropiated and Cisco made several progress in terms of product and technology to accomplish the new vision.

But what has never been clear to me is which kind of security is intended in Cisco for a borderless world? just to make some few example:

Application security

Well here is where i am most confused, apparently with the EOLEOS of the ACE XML gateway Cisco has, reasonably, decided to leave this field to someone else.

Application security, when intended how to protect a customer that is delivering services is a really nasty job. too many things to work on. it was a niche area and require too much investment.

What is not so clear to me, on the other end, is why Cisco abandoned also the Ddos and dos prevention field. They apparently have had the technology that could be used (I mean CIO, Reputation and so on…) but they simply does not explored that side. This is quite funny since Ddos and dos attach have been the mainstream attacks those last years (anonymous remind you anything?).

On the other end we have to admit that there are hard to beat product out there, and if I should look for a anti dos solution i would probably go to Radware.

Pity with the IPS the path seemed correctly planned, with the introduction of the global correlation….but IPS is nor enought nor an application security device.

End User Security

Here Cisco made some big investment, Ironport, Scansafe just to name the most renewed. but acquire a company is enought? after 7 years we’re still waiting for a complete integration of the product into cisco environment, implementation of “simple” features are still waiting. the general overview is that the company does not know where to go and how to go there. The historical difficulty of Cisco to adopt consistent management interfaces is quite clear when we see what happened to Ironport technology and the rest of the products. Still WSA is not able to talk with scansafe (bluecoat can, sigh) and even ASA has not been provided of a decent Scansafe connector yet.

So beside the products are intrinsically good (and the Gartner review show it quite evidently) what seems to be lacking is a project and a future. will they survive? or will they disappear?

On the End user security side we have seen also some weird moves that pissed off the market, think of the recent Linksys Router affair and the “cloud” management interface.

But I can understand that a big network equipement vendor has problem to understand the end user side of the equation, think also outside the security space with the CIUS and Flip….

Another indication that Cisco still not have a clear vision of the end user security space is the lack of basic feature like the Microsoft (c) AD multirealm support. No chaps Radius is not the solution, nor even Tacacs+

We have also some weird duplication like the ASA module to make application visibility and control (CX module) vs the Application visibility and control on WSA and Scansafe.

I’m not interested right now to go on detail but…guys where you want to go? where is the plan here?

Access Security

Here we have seen the most interesting moves, the new ISE product, the ASA improvements, the new Anyconenct are great products and good moves in this space.

Ok some of those, like ISE, are still new and need to growth, but seems the right direction to follow. and I have to admit that if correctly developed Trustsec will be a Winner technology. Just hoping that Cisco PM will understand that the point is to make things easier….

Data Center Security

er VSG, Virtual ASA? is anyone outside a few people in Cisco that are able to understand and explain what are those things? (I mean, of course we need both? what are the differences…..). And the rest?

Cloud Security

can cloud services as scansafe and cloud ironport email service be considered cloud security? or will be the new generation of virtual appliances that will cover this area? please can someone en-light me?

Just at a first overview, and not going product by product, seems quite clear that there still not a vision of what would be the approach in security by Big C, and considering the recent budget cuts I hardly see a bright future for the security in Cisco. We will continue to see great products with useless one, weird choices and a overall confusion cloud (so something in the cloud space is present).

Beside the marketing message seems that most of the promises are still waiting to be taken in consideration by Cisco, and in this field (security) where things change so quickly not to decide and not to act means to loose.

Is still security an Opportunity for Cisco? I do not think so, Big C, with a few product exception, can be a good follower, and when the market and the economy will allow they will buy something to claim to be the state of the art technology but without a consistent project we will see only randomly good product that, by the way, is not a bad thing per se.

But for Cisco will be hard to accomplish the BN vision and the other claim, one vendor is better, because at the moment it seems that, at least in the security space,  there is not a real difference to buy only Cisco product or from other vendors in terms of manageability, integration and development.

we’ll se what will happen soon.

Things always gonna change :)

Cisco Systems Logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

There are times when things changes even if you were not planning it. This is what happened to me lately, things does not go alwaysas planned   but just happened.

I were not planning to have a tumor in my right arm this year (see related post if interested) and I were not planning big changes but…

I’m no more in Cisco, and i have to honestly say that it brigs me a lot of mixed feeling. I have met great people there, starting form my adventure in Ironport with the crazy gang: First Domenico and Patrice, then Angelo and Daniele … what a time and so fun 🙂 and what the other crazy people from the rest of europe? I’ll miss all of them, but Alberto and Armando will have a special place as friends :).

We made things rolling. I cannot forget the Latin american connection with Jose (a Mexican in Canada) and Dario (a tech guy that embraced the dark side, sales) exchanging jokes and silliness.

Then comes Cisco and it was a hard trip, exciting form many point of view.

I met impressive people like Marcello, Marco,  Armando, Luciana, Mauro and so many more, I’ve been blessed working in a great group with a great manager (thanks Colin) and a great group.

The human part of my Cisco experience has been great and fulfilling, and i honestly will miss a lot of people. But as I say things change, and Cisco direction does not match anymore with my target. I did all i could, but is time to move on, can’t fight against my own company so better not to ask to a giant to see a fly point of view 😛

Now that I’m again “free” (sound better than other expression, I will recollect my ideas and dedicate a little more time to consultancy, and my blogs and then see what this world has still to offer to a security guy.

Cheers

Antonio

Dear friend,
I’m Hendrick Marais, 52yrs, branch manager of one of the international Banks here in Malaysia. I have been the personal Fund Manager to the late Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi for many years. Total sum of Ten Million United State Dollars (US$10,000,000.00) was deposited under Escrow Account on behalf of the late president under a SECRET CODE DEPOSIT where none of his personal information was used for the deposit. This is known between two of us before his death in 2011.
And not even our bank head office has information about the owner of the fund. Now that President Muammar Gaddafi is DEAD, I can not be directly have access to this fund as an officer in our bank. So my aim of contacting you is to seek for your partnership to team up with me and receive this fund with your bank account by claiming the title holder/depositor and get 35% of the total fund as commission for your partnership.
There is no risk attached and the funds in question can never be traced. You may wish to read more about late Muammar Gaddafi’s death on the below link to confirm.

MY PROPOSAL – KIM SIMON [IronPort SPAM]

Date:
05 Apr 2012 04:30 (GMT -07:00)

Dear Friend;
I must begin by thanking you so much for the time and opportunity given to me to express my personal issues. I am 23yrs of age and was brought up in London by my late mother who was married to my father Dr. Lucas Simon even though I have never known him but I hear from relations that he is a good man and now residing in Russia.
My mother passed away on the 28th of January 2012 after a brief illness. The death of my mother (Late Dr. Hanan Fiddah Simon) has brought about so many setbacks in my life with my late mothers relations not helping matters not to mention the government that is restricting me from having access to my mother’s wealth. Before her death she deposited USD$7,500,000.00 (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a private blue chip company called The Clearing House authorizing them to release the money to me when she has passed on and I have come of age to handle the money myself. Without wasting much of your time, I need you to stand in for me as my friend and investor to receive this money before my uncles and aunties take all of it away from me leaving me with nothing. I do not intend to stay in this country any longer because I am already fed up with the environment and the way things are going at the moment I can sacrifice coming over to your country to be with you. I have discussed this
I need to hear from you as soon as possible if you are going to stand on my behalf and I promise to give back to you 40% of the money for your kind gestures. I do not need any financial assistance from you but your honest understanding and positive mind until the money gets to you. My email address is stated below so you can write me as soon as you get this message letting me have the below information’s as my attorney has specified for record purposes; I guarantee you that your information will be safe with me.
First Name………….
Surname…………….
Address……………
City……………………
State/Province…….
Country………………
Telephone No……..
Occupation ……….
Date of Birth (date/m/yr)
Copy of International Passport
Thank you and God bless
Sincerely,
Kim Simon

Dear friend,
I’m Hendrick Marais, 52yrs, branch manager of one of the international Banks here in Malaysia. I have been the personal Fund Manager to the late Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi for many years. Total sum of Ten Million United State Dollars (US$10,000,000.00) was deposited under Escrow Account on behalf of the late president under a SECRET CODE DEPOSIT where none of his personal information was used for the deposit. This is known between two of us before his death in 2011.
And not even our bank head office has information about the owner of the fund. Now that President Muammar Gaddafi is DEAD, I can not be directly have access to this fund as an officer in our bank. So my aim of contacting you is to seek for your partnership to team up with me and receive this fund with your bank account by claiming the title holder/depositor and get 35% of the total fund as commission for your partnership.
There is no risk attached and the funds in question can never be traced. You may wish to read more about late Muammar Gaddafi’s death on the below link to confirm.

Dear Friend,
Good day and sorry for the way this email came to you as I’m in desperate need of your help to transfer the sum of $20.5 Million Dollars belonging to an aid to Colonel Gadahafi whose name I cannot mention for security reasons who also died in the fierce fighting in Sirte Libya and before his death I was his personal accounts Manager here in Burkina Faso where He secretly lodged this money without anyone else knowledge except me and the Bank.
I want you to apply to my Bank as the next of kin hence I can provide you with all the informations that can lead to the release of the money into your account as long as you can bear the cost of procuring certain legal certificates that will be needed to change the fund in your name which must be presented to the Bank before the fund is released to you as the nearest person and in confrmation of your interest, I will like you to furnish me with the below informations as 60% of the fund will be for me and 40% for you :
Your Name………………….
Your occupation………………..
Your Country of origin…………..
Your age and contact number……….
I shall furnish you with the details of the deal once I receive the above requirements and please feel free to delete the message if you are not interested and do keep the secret for me so that I can look for another reliable person.
Thanks in Anticipation.
Traore Sekou.

MY PROPOSAL – KIM SIMON [IronPort SPAM]

Date:
05 Apr 2012 04:30 (GMT -07:00)

Dear Friend;
I must begin by thanking you so much for the time and opportunity given to me to express my personal issues. I am 23yrs of age and was brought up in London by my late mother who was married to my father Dr. Lucas Simon even though I have never known him but I hear from relations that he is a good man and now residing in Russia.
My mother passed away on the 28th of January 2012 after a brief illness. The death of my mother (Late Dr. Hanan Fiddah Simon) has brought about so many setbacks in my life with my late mothers relations not helping matters not to mention the government that is restricting me from having access to my mother’s wealth. Before her death she deposited USD$7,500,000.00 (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a private blue chip company called The Clearing House authorizing them to release the money to me when she has passed on and I have come of age to handle the money myself. Without wasting much of your time, I need you to stand in for me as my friend and investor to receive this money before my uncles and aunties take all of it away from me leaving me with nothing. I do not intend to stay in this country any longer because I am already fed up with the environment and the way things are going at the moment I can sacrifice coming over to your country to be with you. I have discussed this
I need to hear from you as soon as possible if you are going to stand on my behalf and I promise to give back to you 40% of the money for your kind gestures. I do not need any financial assistance from you but your honest understanding and positive mind until the money gets to you. My email address is stated below so you can write me as soon as you get this message letting me have the below information’s as my attorney has specified for record purposes; I guarantee you that your information will be safe with me.
First Name………….
Surname…………….
Address……………
City……………………
State/Province…….
Country………………
Telephone No……..
Occupation ……….
Date of Birth (date/m/yr)
Copy of International Passport
Thank you and God bless
Sincerely,
Kim Simon
