Dr. Sam Liles…
I don’t know where to begin describing how excellent a speaker Sam is. Not only is he brilliant, experienced and technically proficient beyond belief, he has a ‘darn the torpedoes’ manner of addressing problems. Sam has a unique ability to home in the critical points of issues and present them with startling clarity. In my opinion, Dr. Sam Liles is a refreshing voice of sanity in this often chaotic over-hyped world of cyber-<insert any word>.
On a personal note I consider Sam a friend, someone who I totally trust. Like me, he also rides a motorcycle, That, by itself, elevates him to a status just below demi-God.
On a professional note, Sam is rooted in altruism. He looks out for his students, he holds their best interests first. When he taught for a year at National Defense University, I heard the same remarks about him, “he’s good people”. In the military, that is about the best endorsement that you will ever read.
So when I was sent an advertisement that Sam was speaking at the Institute of World Politics, I knew I had to talk him up. What’s that word I keep using here? Socialize. I’d like to socialize this event which features Sam speaking on “Cyber as a Form of National Power”. Go. Listen, ask questions, learn. I’ll be there. I’ve invited all my cyber-friends there. Will I meet you there? I’d like to meet you there.
