If you’re not already following some of our excellent NovaInfosec Twits and are wondering where to get the best NoVA-, DC-, and MD-related security tweets, look no further than this post. Published every Friday, our “Infosec Ramblings” post takes many of my security tweets/RTs from the past week and puts them into one easy to digest post. And if you don’t want to wait an entire week, just stop on by my @grecs Twitter account.
[Sorry, this post was meant to go out last week but I didn't have time to categorize and remove irrelevant content due to BSidesLasVegas, Defcon, and a heavy workload. With a new one coming out tomorrow, I'm letting this one fly. -grecs]
