Federal Security Thought Leadership involves studying and understanding the complexities and issues that the Federal government faces in addressing its security challenges—including regulatory compliance, funding and political considerations. The knowledge and insight is then shared with business and federal leaders in order to ensure that information security products and services are delivered to the government quickly, effectively and cost-efficiently. This information must add to an agency’s ability to successfully fulfill its mission—whether that is outfitting the warfighter with the tools needed to succeed on the front lines, building secure e-government Web sites that improve citizen services or managing mission-critical networks and data.
Seeing government business as a service to citizens, a federal security thought leader is an individual that gains deep insight into the broader context of federal operations and requirements by analyzing it against his/her knowledge of information security and evolving threats. By doing so, a federal security thought leader develops a broad vision for what role industry needs to play in helping the federal government fully protect its networks and data; meet the requirements of the Federal Security Information Management Act (FISMA) and other mandates; and succeed in fulfilling its mission.
Realizing that effective security is not achieved in a vacuum, federal security thought leaders never hesitate to look outside their own interests on how government and industry can better collaborate. They are often found promoting their insights and innovative ideas on how best to address information security issues within the federal government by testifying before government committees; participating in industry alliances; giving speeches at trade shows and conferences; talking to reporters; and writing white papers, case studies and op-ed columns.

The Little Pigs and the Big Good Wolf (1963-???), is a short series by an animator named Timothy Groen and is available on 16mm film reels. It was apparently made with traditional cel animation.
In this ironic retelling of the three little pigs, and its sequels, a philanthropist wolf donates money to the town of the pigs in order to develop a central housing authority and safety standards. It is eventually revealed that the big good wolf is actually the brother of the Big Bad Wolf, and is only exacting revenge against his brother for an unsettled debt. The safety standards he develops and implements end up turning the town into a locked-up pigfarm for his own exclusive use, but he has in the meantime developed friendships with the pigs and ultimately becomes their sworn friend and protector.
As of this article, little is known about the number of copies made or its history. There are no identifying animation studio marks or credits other than the title frames including the film title and the author, and the words "DIRECTED BY Shamus Culhane " at the title sequence in the short "The Promise". Six films, each about 12 minutes long, dated from 1963 to 1965, were recently sold on ebay in a batch of miscellaneous 16mm reels. They form a contiguous story but little is known about the completeness of the set.
The titles of each film and dates are as follows.

Security Thought Leadership involves actively researching, understanding and analyzing key issues and challenges facing the information security industry and then using that knowledge to develop and share actionable insights and innovative ideas with peers.
A security thought leader is an individual who is not self-pronounced but fully recognized by others in the information security industry as someone who understands not only his/her own business, but has deep insight into the broader information security marketplace as well as the current and future needs of customers.
Security thought leaders form and communicate a clear vision of the industry’s future based on keen understanding of all aspects of the information security field—including data integrity, data availability, confidentiality, privacy, non-repudiation and risk management—in conjunction with other existing and emerging technologies and the evolving concerns of customers.
Security thought leaders are widely known for being generous and selfless with their time and knowledge. They can be found leading change organizations; keynoting conferences; participating in industry roundtable discussions; authoring white papers, case studies and op-ed columns; providing subject-matter expertise to members of the press; and testifying before government committees.
