You do IT for a living, or you're just security curious. Maybe you read 2600 while you're on break or you find a vulnerability at work and report it to your boss. Instead of a pat on the head, you're fired and shown the door quickly. How do you protect your job while doing good?
<p>I'll discuss a few case histories, relevant U.S. and state laws. I'll suggest what you can do to protect yourself and stay employable, then walk through a few hypotheticals. Audience participation is welcomed.
