The Yellow Brick Road

Incredible.

High energy.

Electric.

The road to and throughout Wednesday's and Thursday's ISC West was crowded but it was amazing.

During the course of my journey at every stop I was greeted by happy exhibitors, enthusiastic sales staff and pleased marketers.

The show floor was electric. Winners were announced for the high-profile new product showcase.

One winner in particular caught my eye.

It all started about 55 years ago when I met my next door neighbor. I knew he had keen intellectual abilities. This proves it.

With at least four patents to his name, Deon Chatterton wins a first place award at the ISC West product competition. I encourage you to look at all the winning entries on the show floor.

Deon is the technology strategist at Safetrust Inc, where advises that companies board of directors. He a spent 20 years at Cisco as the senior manager of corporate security technology.

Congratulations to all the winners. Well done, friend.
