So it has been a little while since I talked about anything website related, so I figured I would take this chance to do so and fill you in on some changes that have happened around here - along with some things that are in the works!
First and foremost, we have launched our new and improved Media section. To start with, this section will be supplying you with podcasts and webinars that are presented by ANX. It will be expanded in the future to accomodate related downloads (such as slides/powerpoints and the likes). There are also RSS feeds associated with these either as a combination, just webinars or just podcasts.
We have also opened this media up to anyone. You are not required to create an...

Don't let your information get CAUGHT!
Over the past decade, a number of standards, laws and regulations have emerged that require organizations to provide strong security and privacy guarantees. The end result is high expectations when it comes to cyber security awareness and training, both of employees and customers. Take a look at this Anti-Phishing game. For those unfamiliar with the term, a phishing attack occurs when bait is used to “catch” financial information and passwords. This game brings awareness to the scam, while providing key warning signs of phishing scams. When a user falls for a simulated attack and clicks on the URL, PhishGuru takes advantage of the “teachable moment” in the form of a cartoon that offers...

And you thought Facebook was bad!
So I came into work this morning and shortly after I had settled in at my desk, my coworker starts calling for me in a panicked voice.
I went to his desk, and apparently a friend of his had alerted him to some of his personal information on a website. Not just any personal information either. Information about his neighbourhood, people in his house, income, age, birthday, interests, you name it. Of course, being me, I went and looked myself up.
What I found just about made my heart skip a beat. The website in question, www.spokeo.com, spiders social networking sites, blogs, and any other repository of public information and aggregates it. This is just plain scary people!

Facebooks Privacy Policy - Reasons to be afraid
Got a Rand McNally Handy? Because that's what you are going to need if you want to adjust your privacy settings!
You may or may not have read my rant on Google Buzz, but as a webmaster for a security company - I take security and privacy issues reasonably seriously. For that very reason, I am about to vent a bit about Facebook.
Now, anyone who knows me, knows my detest for Google and Facebook - yet I still use them. Some might call me a conformist. Some might even call me a hypocrite. I do not like to think of myself this way, I just use it as a method of staying connected to friends and family; on the other hand - as a webmaster, it would be silly for me not to exploit the features...

Security Trends - RSA 2010
ANX sent four delegates (including our CEO) to the RSA conference this year with learning in mind; learning more about what our competition is up to, learning more about potential business partners, and learning more about emerging trends in security. Here are some of my takeaways from the conference:
Attendance
According to Tom Heiser (of RSA) attendance was up 20% this year. After a disappointing 2009 this is refreshing news and hopefully the sign of a recovering economy.
Themes
Cloud Security: The Cloud Security Alliance put on a sold out show to kick off the conference on Monday. Unfortunately I did not arrive in San Francisco until Monday afternoon but I heard they had to turn many away due to...
