It’s that time of the week again: The time where we take a look at what local security bloggers have been up to. While each blog post in our top three covers something interesting, there was one post that we wanted to take a moment to mention before we started our countdown to the number one blog post of the week.
Since we couldn’t be shamelessly partial and put this in our top three, we wanted to take a moment to thank @rybolov for mentioning this in his post “HACK DISASTER RELIEF.” It’s a great post that talks about how you can get involved in helping Haiti recover from the devastating earthquake. You can team up with other technology specialist and develop apps that can be used to help relief workers in Haiti.
If you can’t get enough of the local security scene, check out our NovaInfosec Twits list for even more great security blogs and people to follow on Twitter. Also be sure to follow us on Twitter @grecs if you want to know more about what’s going on in the local security community during the week.
And without further ado … here are the top picks for this week.
#3 - The cost of a compromised record: What is the cost of data breaches? Gemini security solutions looks at the cost data breaches. An article on TechTarget, revealed the cost of a data breach has increased to $204 per compromised record. Gemini security solutions disagrees with those sentiments and they believe that “The loss or damage of reputation caused by a data breach can be so devastating that the monetary cost can’t even be calculated.” Click here to read more of the post.
#2 – One Exploit Should Not Ruin Your Day: A purely technical focused post on how to prevent/solve cyber attacks like the Operation Aurora. Dino has great suggestions like “Give developers remote desktop access to VMs on a separate development network for working on your products and give everyone access to an external Wi-Fi network to use with their personal Internet-enabled devices.” To read a great article by Dino click here
#1 – Attribution Using 20 Characteristics: Richard Bejtlich addresses questions raised by his post “Attribution Is Not Just Malware Analysis” This is a great read especially if you need a framework for your own evaluation. See Richard Bejtlich framework here.
Well, that’s all this week. Be sure to check back next week for more great blog posts from local security bloggers.
