Anyone out there a computer security consultant?  I have a friend who is
starting a business venture and may need some computer security
consultation, mainly for personal computer security (ie email
encryption, personal firewalls, maybe small network stuff, nothing
enterprise level although you should have some knowledge in that arena
as well but you would not be expected to be a guru).  You would almost
surely have to spend some time in the Microsoft world (anyone
ideologically opposed to all things Microsoft don't bother responding)
although I'm sure there would be chances to persuade folks to the Linux
world if it makes sense to do so (ie routers/firewall boxes etc... but
none of these people will dump their Windows environments because it's
"unsafe", they'll expect you to make it safe.  these are financial
people and are generally uncomfortable with change.).  Anyway, if any of
you fit this description and you are interested in some work drop me
your name and phone number (off list is fine if you are uncomfortable
with posting that info here) and I'll forward them to him.
Thanks,
Ben.
