Recruit your spies on the hacker frontier
"Thus, what enables the wise sovereign and the good general to strike and conquer, and achieve things beyond the reach of ordinary men, is foreknowledge."
Sun Tzu was talking about knowledge of the enemy's dispositions and what they mean to do. In Sun Tzu's world, the only way to get this information was to employ spies or agents.
Today, our agents are researchers and companies that provide a wealth of security intelligence and they provide much of this intelligence for free:
- Bruce Schneier, an internationally renowned security technologist and author.
- Marcus Ranum, an internationally renowned security technologist and author.
- IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force Report
- Symantec Global Internet Security Threat Report
- Cisco Annual Security Report
- For many more, Google "internet threat report"
They analyse attacks, review vulnerabilities and detail the latest developments in malicious code.
You will better defend yourself once you learn what attackers are after and how they attack.
