It’s that time of the week again: The time where we take a look at what local security bloggers have been up to. We had an overflow of posts this week after last weeks low turnout. We mainly focus on security and business practices this week but the “Reaction to Cyber Shockwave” post stood out from the other ones.
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, myself (@nathiet), @grecs, and @novainfosec on Twitter 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 – A Sense of Self-Preservation: Ben Tomhave tries to set the infosec and business community straight with this post. A must read if your hoping for a “long-term thinking that builds companies that provide value, benefit, and profit for much longer than 3 months at a time.” Ben Tomhave also gives us common practices from an infosec perspective “Stop talking about traditional “risk management” as some sort of magical rubric or panacea. Start talking about threat modeling and legal defensibility.” Click here to read more.
#2 – Obscurity Still Isn’t Security: “Secrets do not remain secret, so the design–not the secret–must provide the security.” Peter Hesse looks at why obscurity still isn’t security. He looks at where security by obscurity has been practiced wrongly and where security by obscurity is “a useful thing–but only when combined with other efforts.” Click here to read more about security by obscurity.
#1 – Reaction to Cyber Shockwave: Cyber attacks happen frequently these days!! How would the government respond to a massive cyber shockwave? Richard Bejtlich post his thoughts from the Cyber Shockwave simulated meeting in real time, “a meeting of the US National Security Council, with former government, military, and security officials role-playing various NSC participants.” You can catch the simulated meeting on CNN but click here to read Richard Bejtlich’s thoughts.
Well, that’s all this week. Be sure to check back next week for more great blog posts from local security bloggers.
