My name is Mike Condy and though I've been an IT professional for years it's
only lately that I have become interested in system security.

My interest has been kindled by my brother in law who owns a small company
that has developed a Hacker Threat Detection package. The package is aimed
detecting internal and external hacking threats but also designed to enforce
systems usage policies down to the desktop level.  His enthusiasm has
sparked my interest.

For those who might be interested his stuff can be found at
http://www.cryptic.co.uk/ and has a good Glossary of hacking terms.

Regards

Mike C
