How Not To Get Pwnd By Your Clients:
Contract Safety for Security Professionals

Presentation delivered at DojoSec, June 24, 2009

      In your service and employment contracts, there are certain things you should never agree to, and there are certain protections you always need. Otherwise you're essentially betting your future, and the future of your company, on the hope that nothing will go wrong. Ever.

      This talk is intended to help you keep yourself out of trouble. Topics include dealing with "standard" contracts and "standard" provisions; what it means to "indemnify" someone else; how to protect your intellectual property and confidential information; and other dangers, including warranties and audit-rights provisions. It also covers some negotiation strategies.
