As we all know, blogs are a bit "stateless" and a lot of good content gets lost since many people, sadly, only pay attention to what they see today. These monthly round-ups is my attempt to remind people of useful content from the past month! If you are “too busy to read the blogs,” at least read these.
So, here is my next monthly "Security Warrior" blog round-up of top 5 popular posts/topics.
- Top spot this month (by far!) is deservedly taken by “Smart vs Stupid: But Not Why You Think So!” You need to go read it to know why it is so awesome :-)
- “Top Log FAIL!” is still hot! The post summarizes the most egregious, reckless, painful, negligent, sad, idiotic examples of “Log FAIL.”
- “On SIEM Complexity” is next – it is a piece about Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and why it is / is perceived as “very complex.”
- “Open source SIEM theme continues to drive a lot of traffic – it looks like folks are still desperately googling for it. “Why No Open Source SIEM, EVER?” post takes the spot in Top5 this month again. The older inspiration for this post is “On Open Source in SIEM and Log Management.”
- “SIEM Bloggables” post covers key SIEM use cases – it is part of the presentation which is yet to be posted.
- “More PCI Devil Defense” is the next iteration in the ongoing industry discussion of the value of PCI DSS for information security.
This month I am also continuing a new tradition: I am going to thank my top 5 referrers this month (those that are actual humans, that is). So, thanks a lot to the following people whose blogs/resources sent most visitors to my blog:
- Gunnar Peterson
- Dancho Danchev blog
- Richard’s TaoSecurity blog
- Dmitry Evteev blog
- Adam O’Donnell blog
Thanks for all the link-love!
See you in December when I will post both monthly and annual blog round-ups (see my previous annual “Top Posts” - 2007, 2008)
BTW, somebody said that this year is a good year to post not only next year’s annual security predictions, but also next decade security predictions. Now, that is what I would call super-fun! :-)
