斯蒂农博客的改变和新的开始

这是我在“Stiennon on Security”博客上发表的第一篇文章，这是一个有关IT安全的博客。你们中的一些人可能已经熟悉我最初的threatchaos.com博客(你无法链接到它，因为它最近被垃圾邮件发送者劫持了)，或者我过去两年在ZDNET上写的那个博客的后续内容。总之，这是我的第555篇博文。人们每天都能找到可以说的东西，这一直让人感到惊讶，但幸运的是，安全话题如此之大，安全的重要性上升的速度至少与网络和计算的效用一样快。在过去的四年里，你会在我的博客中看到一些反复出现的主题。因为我在Webroot的时候就开始了“威胁混乱”，所以每当有与间谍软件和广告软件相关的新闻或问题时，我就会插话。你会发现，我和那些试图用卑鄙软件入侵个人电脑来回避道德问题的人之间没有好感。网络犯罪是我报道的另一个话题。我花了很多时间在路上介绍网络犯罪，收集新的素材是这个博客的主要目的之一。国家支持的黑客行为是一个需要曝光的领域。 It represents the one area that I believe is the greatest threat to security. I include in this category the industrial espionage carried out by China, shutting down access to YouTube by Pakistan, and the taking down of Estonia by Russia. You may be thinking that I am a chicken little crying that “the sky is falling, run for the hills." But, actually, I am a great optimist. I believe that proper deployments of technology can protect you from nearly all threats. I differ from many other security bloggers in that I do not put much faith in security awareness training, and other soft solutions. If you can identify an attack, I can suggest a technology to counter it. You may find me controversial. In the past I have been vilified for stating my thoughts. I am sure that will happen in the future. So, tune in if you want to be kept abreast of the threatscape and get actionable advice for defending you, your data, and your organization from the bad guys.
