Issue 18: October 2008 - (IN)SECURE Magazine
Summary: Issue 18 of (IN)SECURE Magazine, dated October 2008, is organized around the theme of proactive defense and lists contributors including Jeremiah Grossman, Rob P. Faber, and representatives of DeviceLock UK, Ounce Labs, Passlogix, EnableSecurity, Protegrity, TrustedID, Offensive Computing, Realex Payments, and Core Security Technologies. Its table of contents covers network and information security in Europe, browser security, passive network analysis with NetworkMiner, UNIX auditing with Lynis, Windows driver vulnerabilities, software armoring, privacy protection software, compliance versus security, secure web application development, the insider threat, and web application security.
Bottom line: The issue's own framing - compliance does not equal security but it's a good start - names the gap a security leader still has to manage: a control set that satisfies an auditor is not the same thing as proactive defense.
