RE: Announcing the Zero Day Initiative

What a fancy way to say, "Sell us your exploits".
You got to love how it makes it sound like it's going
to benefit the whole world while in reality it'll benefit only
one company and one company only :-)
C'mon... at least you could have left the marketing mambo jumbo
for the business folks. Why not call it what it really is.
Why hide it behind big words like "Initiative"... 
Honesty is the best approach...

Subject: [Dailydave] Announcing the Zero Day Initiative
 
We are pleased to announce the official launch of the Zero Day
Initiative. 

The Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) was founded by 3Com's TippingPoint
division and is a best-of-breed security research incentive program.
Ultimately, the program's goal is threefold: (1) to reward and encourage
independent security research (2) to promote and ensure the responsible
disclosure of vulnerabilities and (3) to provide 3Com and TippingPoint
customers with the world's best security protection.

Please go to www.zerodayinitiative.com for more details and answers to
frequently asked questions.

For those of you in Las Vegas this week for the Black Hat Briefings,
3Com will be throwing a massive Zero Day Initiative launch party on
Wednesday night from 8pm-1am at Body English (www.bodyenglish.com) in
the Hard Rock Hotel.  Secure an invitation at the conference from me or
one of the TippingPoint team in attendance.  See you there.
