Awarded with the Windows Security MVP designation for another year!

Happy New Years everyone!

For a third year in a row I have been given the MVP Award from Microsoft. I am in good company.

Looking back in the last year it's been really fun. I have spoken in the community from Microsoft's campus in Redmond all the way to their campus in Sydney Australia. I have keynoted at a few conferences and even helped work on the technical track at SMB Nation. I have been a subject matter expert in many areas of new products that aren't even public yet at Microsoft, and have been able to make a real difference in the direction of critical components in Microsoft product.

I have found critical vulnerabilities and stupid bugs, and was able to expand my circle of influence with new friends with brilliant minds in the security field. Many thanks to everyone who I have been able to engage with during this trek. I look forward to seeing many of you at the next MVP Summit!!!

And above all, many thanks to my close friends in the MVP community. For as much as I give back to the community, I learn even more from my peers. And I thank you for that.

Dana, Congrats again. I can't find your contact information anywhere. I used to link to you from Winn Schwartau's Security Awareness Blog.

Can you shoot me an email so we chat about what I'm working on now?

Thanks,
