Did you catch our trivia question? Be the first to reply with the right answer and get any <$25 item from the Colorado = Security store.
AOL Instant Messaging came out at the perfect time to be a huge part of my college and young adult life. If I had used it in the last decade I would definitely miss it leaving us. Also, aren't you supposed to play a LITTLE hard to get? Colorado legislators are not holding back telling Bezos that they want HQ2. ChannelAdvisor didn't get the red carpet, but they're coming to town anyway. Colorado accountants are building bots and collecting big data. Colorado makes the map of well funded security company hubs. Englewood's computers get pwned. One CEO is out and a new one is in at Secure64. Convercent has their big conference, and things are good for ethics companies in 2017. And Ping Identity speaks up about what makes for an effective CISO (hint- it's not about the undergraduate degree).
