Blogs are "stateless" and people often pay attention only to what they see today. Thus a lot of useful security reading material gets lost. These monthly round-ups is my way of reminding people about interesting and useful blog content. 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 this month.
- “Verizon DBIR 2011 is OUT!” announces the release of the next Verizon Breach Report: awesomeness unleashed
- “Simple Log Review Checklist Released!” is still one of the most popular posts on my blog. Grab the log review checklist here, if you have not done so already. It is perfect to hand out to junior sysadmins who are just starting up with logs. A related “UPDATED Free Log Management Tools” is also still on top - it is a repost of my free log tools list to the blog.
- My PCI DSS log review procedures that I created for a consulting client and posted on the blog (sanitized, of course!) took one of the top spots again: the first post “Complete PCI DSS Log Review Procedures, Part 1” and the whole series “PCI_Log_Review” would be useful to most large organizations under PCI DSS (as well as other regulated organization that are looking to create a structure log review policies, procedures and process)
- “On Sony PSN Breach and Commenting” is about why I am rejecting many requests to “comment on the Sony PSN breach”: because most of such post-breach comments by outsiders are pure drivel, that rarely even RAISES to the level of FUD.
- “SIEM Resourcing or How Much the Friggin’ Thing Would REALLY Cost Me?” is a new post about figuring out the costs of your SIEM/SIM/SEM implementation – it became an instant favorite and took the final top5 spot this month.
Also, as a tradition, I am thanking my top 3 referrers this month (those who are people, not organizations). So, thanks a lot to the following people whose blogs sent the most visitors to my blog:
Also see my past annual “Top Posts” - 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). Next, see you in May for the next monthly top list.
