7MS #280: How to Become a Packtpub Author

I'm excited to announce I'm going to be a PacktPub author! I'm going to work with them to create a course on network/vulnerability scanning. I'm pumped, but kinda nervous, so when I had the initial conversations with PacktPub staff, I made sure I hit them with my burning questions:

Q: Are you going to ask me to create a sweet course and then pay me pennies for every digital copy sold?

A: No. Authors get paid a lump sum up front and then share in profits for digital copies sold.

Q: Who's gonna dictate the project outline - as well as timeline for recording it?

A: It's a joint effort. The author dreams up the timeline, fine-tunes it with PacktPub, and then hammers out a mutually agreeable project timeline.

Q: Do I have to buy some expensive software/hardware to make these videos?

A: Not really. PacktPub did recommend I buy a better microphone (so I got a Snowball), and then they license authors a copy of Panopto to record the videos.

7MS #98: Intro to PCI Scoping

So far I've focused on the technical aspects of PCI, but I'm trying to get familiar with the overall scoping questions that my tenacious QSA friends ask when they start a gap analysis. This episode shares some interesting tidbits I learned while doing some QSA "shadowing" on an assessment of a restaurant.
