Another week, another wave of great blog posts from local security bloggers in the DC, MD, and NoVA area.
In addition to having three awesome posts for our top picks week, we also have a bonus post and the ever-popular tweet of the week.
grecs: RT @danphilpott @cyberhiker @jack_daniel I prefer to think of it as outsourcing my competence to focus on core incompetence. #totw
But enough with the fun and games; on to the posts!
#3 – OMB Goes Paperless – Local blogger and security professional @danphilpott took some time this week to write about what’s going on with the OMB. Besides the awesome fact that the OMB is now paperless, @danphilpott noted some other important changes to the OMB in his post “OMB Wants a Direct Report.” You can read the full post here, on the Guerilla CISO.
#2 – Layered Security: Speaking of the Guerilla CISO, that brings us to our second pick of the week: A post entitled “A Layered Model for Massively-Scaled Security Management” by one of our frequently featured local bloggers, @rybolov. Starting off by discussing the OSI model of technology management, @rybolov goes on to explain his own model of technology management. And if that hasn’t captured your interest, you really should take a look at his post for the cake if nothing else. No, really; there’s cake!
#1 – Pass the Hash: Ever since Marcus J. Carey went into blog semi-retirement (we miss your v-blog posts Marcus!) it’s been rare to have any v-blog or video related posts crop up in our top picks. That all changed this week when @mubix made a post entitled “Pass the Hash Metasploit Demo.” A PTH video he made for the guys over at SecurityAegis, the entire video is really well done. You really should check it out sooner rather than later.
Ready for that bonus post yet?
Well, it just so happens that Wade Woolwine has started what we hope will be a weekly commentary post. You can check out his first post in the series here.
Well, that’s all for this week. Don’t forget to follow us @grecs for more great posts during the week!
