Urs Gattiker. One of the most rewarding aspects of my professional life is that I constantly get the chance to meet interesting people. One such person is Urs Gattiker. I had heard mentioned Urs’ name many times before and I have for a period subscribed to his free electronic newsletter Information Security News This Week. But I had never met him before two or three weeks ago where our common interest in the Danish chapter of Internet Society (ISOC DK) gave us a chance to meet. In addition to being among the very top of the pops within IT-security in Denmark, Urs has a truly international outlook with respect to information technology, which is something everybody in our little province called Denmark should take notice of and learn from. After our meeting, Urs and I are now in the process of arranging an international workshop dealing with trends in IT-security to take place in Copenhagen 2 November 2002. More about this later…
