From SANS Newsbites Vol. 3 Num 21
The first benchmark for measuring security on servers was published last week (along with automated tools for instant measurement). Two surprises: (1) some of the top names in security had systems that got low scores; and (2) those same folks corrected the problems fast, in part because the code to correct the problems is delivered along with the tools. If you have a Solaris system, download the benchmarks and tools today from www.cisecurity.org. Windows 2000 and other systems will follow. Because the benchmarks are the consensus product of 140 large user organizations around the world, they are the best hope yet to answer the question that top management asks, “What do we need to do to protect ourselves against legal liability from weakly protected computers?”
Online versions of Intrusion Detection, Incident Handling and Hacker Exploits, and Windows NT Security courses have recently been added to SANS Security Essentials (see http://www.sans.org/giactc/online.htm). Most people who take online programs tell us the frequent quizzes ensure
mastery and improve their confidence in the material.
now that i am a bit settled in my job, and i have the few minutes a day it takes to keep this web flowing with goddies… i’m naming this fishbrains 2.0
Well…I was just wondering where everyone is at as well…I have to say that I’ve been extremely tired and teaching all the time isnt helping any either. I’m currently teaching a 2000 track, and it gets tiring. I must say that I’ve learned that this is not a field for everyone and I also believe that everyone should be honest with themselves and realize that if this is not for them they need to leave the field and go bake cakes or cook hamburgers. Let me know what you guys think. Peace!
