Do you spend more of your time in the office or out at client sites?
Do you have a specialty or preference for certain kinds of security
work? I ask because security seems to be such a wide-open field with
lots of different flavors, so if someone says "I work in security",
that could mean almost anything.

What's your strategy for networking?
