Intel Video Ad on Security, directed by Christopher Guest

published: July 29th, 2007

I am quite impressed from the following Intel ad. It is funny to see how far we the IT industry can go. It is also interesting to see the growth of the IT Security sector. Several years back, most organizations didn’t even know what type of service they receive when they buy a penetration test.

Apart from that, I have to say that Intel’s approach is quite ingenious. Here in GC we are also thinking to do something similar although nothing has been put on paper yet. We will see. Meanwhile, enjoy the video.

pdp responds:

I think that the ad is just simply brilliant. It doesn’t really do much for me, since I am on the other end of the consumer line, but I must admit that it is plain addictive.

Gesus responds:

I fail to see how this differs substantially from the “Viva Viagra” commercials.

pdp responds:

I find it interesting, is that a problem? :)

Dan responds:

@pdp: Oh yes, it’s a problem - now we have to fight!

(gagging on his laughter)

Great ad! The message is funny as hell, but great ad!

pdp responds:

Dan, come out and let’s fight then. :) btw, it seams that everybody is pissed today, haha :) check this out http://www.0×000000.com/index.php?i=410, and this one too http://sla.ckers.org/forum/read.php?3,14208. I guess we are going to end up hacking each others’ websites.
