Security Updates

Some people have asked me where I get the security notifications that I sometimes pass on to them. Here’s a few, feel free to add to the list.

• The SANS Institute (http://www.sans.org/): Provides SANS Newsbites in email and RSS formats. I get this one as a weekly newletter. Good on details, with a little bit of editorial content thrown into the mix. Not so bad.
• Bat Blue (http://www.batblue.com/): Publishes Daily Security Briefing in email, RSS and podcast formats. I get this one as a daily email. It’s nicely formatted with a list of current security vulnerabilities, a list of recent virus and malware activity, summaries of major issues and their actionables.

There are a few more lists/resources I could mention, but these are the top two that seem to cover most issues for me. Watching slashdot and/or digg is sometimes also useful, for up-to-the-moment advisories, as long as you can manage to tune out all of the chatter on those sites.

For anyone that wants to read it, my review of the IronKey is on my livejournal. I’d like to have done a better one, but seeing as how this is my first product review, and I managed to break it at the end, I think it came out decently. :-)
