ISSA Phoenix Testimonial for Ali Pabrai of ecfirst

“As Program Director of the Phoenix Arizona chapter of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA), I wish to acknowledge the value of the presentation given by Ali Pabrai at our October 2009 event. In presenting on a subject that to many people seems dry and uninteresting, he took on a subject that is important to all of us in the Information Security arena. The presentation given was one of the best I have seen in all ways. The audience was captivated and their admiration was earnest with Ali’s excitement and presentation style.” 

“To say that people were on the edge of their seats is not an understatement, everyone was riveted to the presentation.” 

“The coverage of the topic at hand was remarkable in several ways.  It demonstrated considerable understanding of the topic, it entertained an audience that is typically critical in their appreciation of topics related to control in Information Security and above all, it was informational and easy to understand.  Our chapter holds events such as this every quarter, and it is hard to remember a better reception to a presentation on this topic.  Your support of learning and education for the security profession is second to none, please feel free to join us again, either as a speaker or attendee.” 

“As the Program Director for the chapter I recommend that any organization wishing to have a dynamic speaker present on topics of current interest to the Security Community consider engaging Mr. Pabrai’s considerable talents”
