Information Security Resources From Sensei and RTL Readers
December 19, 2011
I know, I know, I'm late in getting to this. I blame the American Bar Association for having two book manuscripts due so close to one another. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 🙂
First, here are our favorite resources (with a hat tip Dave Ries, our co-author on Locked Down: Information Security for Lawyers, to be published in March 2012). The three of us compiled this short list for those who don't want to delve too deeply in too many sources.
- American Bar Association, Law Practice Management Section, www.americanbar.org/groups/law_practice_management.html, provides information on security geared to attorneys through CLE programs, ABA TECHSHOW, Law Practice Magazine, and Law Practice Today webzine
- CERT Coordination Center, http://www.cert.org/ (Carnegie Mellon University), a leading information security research and training center, provides security information for both technical and nontechnical users
- Computerworld Security Topic Center, www.computerworld.com/s/topic/17/Security, on online news service that regularly addresses privacy issues
- Dark Reading, http://www.darkreading.com/, a comprehensive security information and news site
- Microsoft, Safety & Security, for nontechnical users: www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx, for technical users: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bb291012
- SANS Institute, http://www.sans.org/, a leading information security research, training, and certification organization, provides security information for both technical and nontechnical users, including its extensive Reading Room and Security Awareness Tips of the Day
- US-CERT: United States Computer Readiness Team, http://www.us-cert.gov/ (part of the Department of Homeland Security), provides security information for both technical and nontechnical users
Thanks to Derek Milroy, a security specialist who was kind enough to share with our readers his personal list of security resources. He can be reached at . There was very little point in reinventing the wheel so with his gracious permission, we have simply added additions at the end of the list. We’d also like to thank Seth Wilson, Brian Honan, Aaron Turner, Anthony Freed, Sean Gajewski and Andrew Simmons, all of whom replied to a Ride the Lightning blog post asking for readers’ favorite infosec resources. Their recommendations are included in Derek's list.
Thanks to one and all. To those interested in following information security, an area where it is well-nigh impossible to keep up, this is a holiday gift indeed!
