Evan Horowitz: Making Millions Through Adult Domains and an Affiliate Networkdomainsherpa
Watch the full interview: http://domainsherpa.com/evan-horowitz
Evan Horowitz learned about the Internet and honed his sales expertise early in his career. Doing so helped him develop one of the leading domain name brokerages and create an affiliate network worth millions in annual sales. Along the way, Horowitz invented the system and method for Affiliate Pooling, a patent that last year alone brought in $1 million in licensing fees.
In this show, Horowitz shares how he built his businesses, how he enforces his patent, and his views for the future of the domain name industry.

Overview of the research project entitled 'Changing Workplaces: Implications for Cybersecurity', conducted by the GCSCC in collaboration with GrapeData.
A presentation underpinning a discussion with participants in the wide-area network (WAN) summit held on 26 September 2022 in London at the QEII. It is based on initial descriptive results of a 2022 global survey of over 7,000 internet users on their workplaces prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the pandemic, and currently. Questions also address the cybersecurity issues they faced during each stage of the pandemic. The rise of working from home and hybrid working are clear along with declines in office work and the use of decentralised offices. The survey was designed by our research team at the Global Centre for Cybersecurity Capacity Building at the University of Oxford in collaboration with Grape Data, a new and innovative survey research organisation, which fielded the survey.
