Threatpost has an article up about Bob Maley, the Pennsylvania CISO dismissed this past week because he discussed an incident during an RSA panel. I saw this come in through the Twitter stream and my immediate thought was how this is exactly why we have such issues sharing useful information. We make an attempt to share information, and someone boots us hard in the ass. While the booting may be justified by the state’s policy, I would question that someone is not understanding the reasonable intent of the policy.

What’s funny is more people likely know about what happened in Pennsylvania due to this than if they had just slapped him on the wrist or done nothing. Well played, sirs. Maybe that in itself violates the policy…
