Need to get up-to-date on what’s happening in security. The Cisco IntelliShield Security Alert service offers free podcasts of it’s weekly Cyber Risk Reports. According to IntelliShield’s site, “The weekly Cyber Risk Reports provide strategic intelligence about current security activity in seven major risk management categories: vulnerability, physical, legal, trust, identity, human, and geopolitical.” Each report has a highlight/focus area that is listed, but the report also covers a broad range of security topics. I find them to be a quick way to get up to speed on security events from around the globe. These updates include political and legal updates that I don’t usually find on my typical security info sites. To listen to the podcasts go here http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/crr_podcasts.html To subscribe to the RSS feeds of the podcasts click the RSS button highlighted on the above page. In addition to the free podcasts, Cisco offers a paid subscription to the full Cisco IntelliShield Alert service. You get tailored alerts and access to the complete 14,000 plus security alert database encompassing multiple vendors. Cisco acquired the IntelliShield service from Cybertrust about 2 1/2 years ago and has integrated it into its IPS sensors and MARS product line to name a few. The full Cisco IntelliShield alert service is offering a free 6 month trial. To sign-up click here http://www.cisco.com/go/intellishield/trial/ .
