Neil Smithline's main focus has been in optimizing the software life cycle from a product's initial concept through its retirement. This has included tools that affect development, programming techniques, software patterns, development processes, developer training, internal and external. For the past nine years he has directed these efforts almost exclusively to application security. He was the BEA Security Architect for over eight years. In this position Smithline co-designed the security framework for WebLogic Server that is now incorporated into most BEA products and becoming part of many Oracle products. During his tenure at BEA, he had the opportunity to interact with hundreds of customers; helping them develop their security architecture, processes, and strategies.

is a red circle and not a push-pin shape it should be. But even worse, the
"B" entry is shown about a dozen blocks away from correctly placed "A" entry.

important for Web application components. An insecure Web application leaves
a Web site vulnerable to many attacks, some that require nothing more than an
Internet browser and a small amount of knowledge.
The global and anonymous nature of the Internet means that a Web application
can be attacked from anywhere in the ... (more)

Is Google growing too fast to continue to produce innovative software while
maintaining the quality that has become expected of it? I've had some
problems with their alerts and sent in comments and, excluding the automated
email replies, have received no response nor has the problem been corrected.
In general I would have to say I'm a fan of Google. I think that they h... (more)
