Just want to put it out there that my uncle Jim Molini has started a blog where he covers some major issues in the software security field. That’s a topic that gets largely ignored by John Q. Public because it’s against almost everyone’s interest to spend much time talking about the risks of bad security.
Sales people just don’t want to make their customers anxious about their products, and many black hats are now smart enough to keep their intrusions quiet as long as possible to simply leech information out of their targets. Most people simply don’t think about security until something goes wrong. (ISC)2 [International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium] is working to expand the knowledge base on security in the market by providing certifications and resources to security minded professionals.
