This is an article I've been wanting to post on here for quite a while. This article discusses the major fundamental security rules, based on processes and policies rather than technology. A lot of this, honestly, is common sense, but unfortunately it's the simple things like this that are so often overlooked.

Traditionally, people look at the infosec field as something to do about firewalls and antivirus. They treat technology as THE solution, instead of simply the enabler. And it’s this fallacy that weakens any security implementation. Security is a process, not a product… and should be treated as such. Through the security lifecycle, policy and procedure needs to take precedence over implementation. It’s a bigger part of the circle for a reason.

Overall, this is a concise, well thought out, and well written security article, and is definitely a must-read.



The Eight Rules of Security

I recently came across a review of the upcoming 5.0 version of the SkyOS operating system. I had come across this a while back in my try-every-operating-system-imaginable days, but this review got me quite interested in it again. Once version 5.0 is offically released, I'll definitely spend some time playing around with it.

Check out the full review, or get more information at the SkyOS home page.

Woot! Haven't played it yet, but will probably try it out later tonight. In the meantime, here are some links so you can download it yourself:

pdabuyersguide.com posted a mouth-watering review of Sharp's new newet C-series Zaurus model, the SL-C860. Unfortunately, as with previous C-series models, the C860 is only available in Japan. Damn! But, you can import it through localization specialists such as Dynamism.
