InfoSec Compendium: August 8th

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Good monring and welcome to the first InfoSec Compendium. Here I will post links to Information Security articles that I have found intersting. This compendium my consist of only a few links or many, this is not a reflection on any thing more than my own preferences or lack of time.

1 – DOD to review use of social-media technology – Federal Computer Week

2 – Hackers Target House.gov Sites – Washington Post

3 – Weaponizing Apple’s iPod Touch – InformationWeek

There are differing views on Cloud Computing and how it will change the IT landscape as well as its affect on Security. I approach Security from a Risk Management stand point, which is much easier for the C-suite to understand. This brief article addresses the ideas behind Cloud Computing and how compaines may use Risk Management to address their use of the cloud.

4 – Cloud Changes Cost of Attacks – DevCentral

That is it for the first InfoSec Compendium.
