I was attending the NorthWest Oracle Users Group meeting on Monday. At the beginning of the conference, there was the usual conference business and announcements. The speaker announced that the 1:00 PM technical talk was cancelled due to illness. I looked at the schedule, and thought: Dang. There is nothing else that I want to attend at 1:00 PM. What am I going to do? Probably some of the other people at the conference felt the same way too.
Then, I had a crazy idea. Why not create a database security presentation, and present it at 1:00 PM? I suggested it to my colleague Kelly Gallagher. Kelly is on the board of the NWOUG. She thought it was a great idea. What is the title? How to Protect your Oracle Database from Hackers. Oops. Now, I was on the hook for creating and delivering a presentation about database security in less than 4 hours.
Well, I did it. Here is the presentation. Some people seemed interested. Anyways, here is the presentation. Kelly said three people commented, and said the presentation was excellent.
I wish I would have had more prep time… 🙂
