7MS #143: Friday Infosec News and Links Roundup

Here are some of my fav' stories and links for this week!

* Burn it all...The New Security Fundamentals **(Wednesday, January 20 @ 1 p.m. CST)**: a free Webinar on setting up the "*core technical things you need to do for your security program*." I've attended many Webinars from the BHIS group and they're always informative and humorous.

* Real World Web Penetration Testing **(Thursday, January 28 @ 1 p.m. CST)**: a $25 Webinar on going through "*a real world penetration test. We will explore the methodology and procedures Secure Ideas follows as we test web applications. The course will also walk through some tricks and tips on how to focus your testing on likely flaws*."

I have seen four of their recorded courses before and found them to be *absolutely* worth the money I spent, so I'm confident this upcoming session will be no exception.

* Fortinet SSH backdoor not much to say except if you use any of the affected products, update immediately as they contain an SSH backdoor:

* FortiOS v4.3.17 or any later version of FortiOS v4.3 (available as of July 9, 2014)

* FortiOS v5.0.8 or any later version of FortiOS v5.0 (available as of July 28, 2014)

* Any version of FortiOS v5.2 or v5.4

* Hacker sentenced to 334 years in prison for operating a phishing Web site similar to that of a legit banking Web site. Moral of the story? Don't do that.

* Don't use IE 8, 9 or 10 anymore! unless you like to live dangerously.

7MS #128: Transparency is King

In this episode, I talk about a restaurant infosec assessment I did, and how the recommendations coming out of that assessment didn't fit the standard "mold." I also talk about how being transparent and helpful - and NOT billing clients for every tiny little thing - is king.

7MS #126: Get Your Name Out There

This episode isn't about infosec exactly, but it talks about how using public resources like LinkedIn, Twitter and blogs to boost your "brand" (though I hate that word) and help you get more connected to the infosec community, job leads and more!

7MS #125: Securing Your Life-Part 2

7MS #125: Securing Your Life-Part 2

Way back in episode #93, I talked about things you can do to secure your life (mortgage review, adequate insurance, estate planning, investments, etc.). This episode continues that train of thought and covers: getting the right amount of life insurance, getting the right home/auto coverage, as well as estate planning.

7MS #124: Sprinkles

This episode is 90% a rant about how annoying carry-on luggage and air travel can be, and a 10% sprinkling of security sauce mixed in. Hence: sprinkles.

7MS #123: Doing a Redo Assessment

7MS #123: Doing a Redo Assessment

This episode talks about my experience in doing a "redo" security assessment, during which I struggled with the following questions: what's the best way to efficiently correct the erroneous information and make the customer happy without asking ALL the original questions over again? Especially when I have little to no time to prepare for the "redo" interview?

7MS #122: OFFTOPIC-An Apology to Elephants

7MS #122: OFFTOPIC-An Apology to Elephants

Preview76 wordsThis episode is about a documentary called An Apology to Elephants. It's all about the treatment (or mistreatment) of elephants, and the main message of the movie is, "Please don't go to the circus when it's in town, because you're supporting elephant abuse." Even if that message was a little heavy handed, I certainly will pass on tickets next time a circus act comes through town. You can subscribe to the 7 Minute Security podcast here.
