My New Job: Security Analyst

My name is Corsin Camichel and I am working for Compass Security AG. The views expressed on this blog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer. Everything here, though, is my personal opinion and is not read or approved before it is posted. No warranties or other guarantees will be offered as to the quality of the opinions or anything else offered here.

This little paragraph is now very important. As of October 2010 I am employed by Compass Security, a leader in Penetration Tests and Security Checks in Switzerland. As a security analyst I am conducting such checks and tests. Everything I do is confidential and can not be discussed in public. Just a note to my blog readers. If I describe or write about security related issues (which I think I will do in the future) it expressed my personal opinion, findings and research and is not backed or sourced by work I have done. I will occasionally publish or link to stuff which is work related, but only information that is or should be public knowledge. Like events or presentation we are holding. But I will do my best to disclose my relationship on all those posts.
