The Academy...Home!

Sometimes an idea comes along that was so obviously needed that you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. One of those ideas is The Academy!

Because of very persistent marketing most people in the security industry have heard of The Academy. Peter Giannoulous has done an amazing job of promoting his security video website in an almost viral way using all sorts of Web 2.0 from Linkedin to Twitter and everything inbetween.

Now Peter has gone one step further, launching The Academy Home. This site has the same general idea...videos on how to configure security...but the audience is much different. The Academy Home is aimed at the average computer user. Finally a good quality security website aimed at your parents and grandparents who are not savvy computer professionals and sorely in need of good quality, knowledge appropriate guidance.

So please help make this endeavour successful! Let all of your non-tech-savvy friends and relatives know about The Academy Home. Maybe you will even get a couple of nights off from tech-support. (-8

SANS Log Management Survey

I don't make personal pleas often, but this is something I truly believe can be significant in the security industry.

SANS is surveying individuals on log management practices in their organizations. The more people who take the survey the more useful the results. so please give up 10 minutes of your time to complete the survey. Even if you have not yet started a log management project...please take the survey...your information is at least as important as those who have, if not more.

Thanks in advance!
