It’s time for one of our favorite posts of the week… the post where we get to spotlight some great bloggers who are involved in the local infosec community.

If you, or someone you know should be added to the list of bloggers we consider each week, please contact us or send us a tweet.

#3 – iPhone Apps: We’re always looking for good apps for the iPhone (especially with the release of 3.0) so luckily for us, @geminisecurity had a post that covered 4 of the best apps for the iPhone. But @geminisecurity didn’t just cover regular iPhone apps; no, they covered security apps for the iPhone, which is definitely needed if all the recent rumors swirling around Apple’s security are true. You can check out the full post for more information.

#2 – Security for a Million: Writer and speaker Richard Bejtlich posed an interesting question this week, asking what a black hat could do with a $1 million budget. But instead of just leaving it as a question, Bejtlich actually wrote out a tentative breakdown of what a black hat organization could do with a $1 million budget.  I’m not sure what was scarier; the fact that he created a potential financial plan for a black hat organization to follow, or that $1 million could go a lot further in a black hat organization than it could in most of the organizations we work for. Really makes you question how much money is wasted on unimportant things. Definitely read the post for yourself and let me know what you think.

#1 – Cyberwarfare and the Spanish Civil War: According to guest poster ian99 of the The Guerilla CISO, “Perhaps the most interesting model of development and Cyberwarfare activity today would be based on the pre-WW II example of the Spanish Civil War.” Tracing the historical origins of cyberwarfare, ian99’s post is like attending a ShmooCon talk and a history lesson all in one. Check out the full post here.

Well, that’s all for this week. Be sure to follow me @grecs during the week for more great posts from local bloggers.
