I was in Vegas last week for Interop. Over 400 exhibitors and 19,000 attendees attended the show and McAfee had a strong presence. During the show, I presented my keynote address and met with several of our customers.

Ok, I admit it, I’m a habitual viewer of the weekly crime drama Criminal Minds. This show follows a group of profilers from the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit as they dissect the personalities of criminals to solve crimes.
