Software SecurityWelcome to the Security Musings on sans.edu. I'm Stephen Northcutt and like many of you I am a manager and leader with an information technology job. At the SANS Technology Institute, we are always striving to become more skilled and knowledgeable in computer security as well as the people side of the job. These security musings are an informal set of articles, book reviews and whitepapers, almost a blog, about security, information technology, and the computer security industry. As we learn more, ponder issues and research content for SANS Management 512, Security Leadership Essentials and the GIAC Security Certification, we will continue to add to this site. Our hope is for this to be a resource for the community and we would love to hear from you. Feel free to drop us a note at stephen@sans.edu.

The Marriott Wardman Park is my favorite Washington DC conference hotel - Aug 8th, 2009
By Stephen Northcutt
If you are running a conference event in Washington DC, and you do not need the downtown convention center, consider Northwest DC and, in particular, the Wardman Park Marriott Hotel. Stephen Northcutt of the SANS Technology Institute looks at three conference hotels in Northwest DC from the event planner's perspective.
