ISSA Journal - July 2007

Probably the most useful security magazine you can read. Short, to the point, and not cluttered with ads.

Information Warfare: separating hype from reality

If you like to speak in 3-letter words, then this book is for you. Otherwise, skip the first few chapters of abbreviations and history of security in the US government and jump into chapter 5 Cyberterrorism: Hype and Reality or into chapter 7 Information Operations and the Average Citizen.

CISA Exam Cram 2 : Certified Information Systems Auditor

Finished this CISA exam cram book. Some sections took some extra (and slow) reading since the auditing world seems to redefine the English language. Overall, a good primer to the CISA field but I can tell that I will need to read more on this topic.

Coffee & IT Security

"If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, then you will be hacked. What's more, you deserve to be hacked."
Richard Clarke at the 2002 RSA Security Conference.
