Top 5-ish Threats to Watch for in 2009

prevent security professionals from actually enhancing security and
distract employees from working. This includes policy tidbits and
factoids for employees to see everywhere from posters in the bathroom
to mouse pad messages on their desks to screensaver quizzes they need
to answer prior to login.  Even organizations that eschew formal
security awareness for the more often seen "IT guy complaining about
security and stupid users to anyone who will listen" are also part of
this threat.  The security awareness threat will cause a loss of
productivity and cost of materials to businesses worldwide that will
most likely exceed the loss due to un-security-aware employee security
blunders. They'd be better off spending that time and money on user

The New ISO Hacking Standard

focus on what is an acceptable attack surface rather than on which are 
accepted products. -Based on OSSTMM, government organizations could 
also determine which environmental controls are required for the 
infrastructure to prevent employees with a lack of security knowledge 
or focus from making bad security decisions as opposed to which brand 
of security awareness training will be need to be bought. It could 
also mean vendors would need to reach higher to surpass the bar set by 
the law instead of forcing the law to stoop down to what the vendor 
can provide.

People who want to support getting the OSSTMM 3 into the ISO family 

Security Awareness for kids

We need you to talk to the parents of children you know, talk to 
schools, and talk to after-school clubs (an Italian Judo class for 
kids submitted 8 pictures) to get kids to draw what they think bad 
people look like. Please get involved in making this a security 
awareness project that encompasses security online and offline for 
kids. Translations of the pdf are also welcome!

Thanks!
