About Gord Larose

I'm a high-technology veteran specializing in Digital Rights Mangement and related technologies, who understands the subtle interplay between good technology and good business.
Since 2004, I work for Cloakware, a technology company headquartered in my home town of Ottawa, Canada. Cloakware specializes in security technology applicable to DRM and many other scenarios requiring application-level security. The world is ready for Cloakware's technology and I look forward to helping Cloakware through an exciting growth period.
Independent consulting work is no longer being sought. However, I will remain an informed, balanced voice in the DRM community, maintaining this site - especially the DRM Dictionary.
Thanks to my clients and confederates in the technology community for a fun few years. It isn't over yet !
