No I don't think the world is safer, in fact the presentation release
onto the internet has been gagged because its too dangerous to release
it yet.

I do not thank Core Security I think the whole thing has been handled
badly by EUSecWest and CORE Security, they rushed out the announcement
of the presentation, with little time for the government, the security
industry and CISCO enough time to evaluate what was
going to be presented.

The presentation was rushed through to meet a ticket sales deadline
agenda, no thought for security or polite time frame for all involved
to evaluate, prepare and coordinate.

Announcing the presentation slot with only 2 weeks or so before the
presentation is to be given is an unacceptable behaviour.

If you want to know why Cisco didn't have anything up on their site or
that the information they provide isn't what you're wanting, its
because Cisco has had hardly anytime to prepare it.

Cisco and the government had to accommodate a ticket sales deadline
time frame, not the desired time frame before the conference that they
would have hoped for.

This is why the presentation isn't being released online yet, Cisco,
the security industry and the government need more time.

If anyone has any contracts with CORE Security I suggest you drop them
at the earliest opportunity.

All the best,
