@RISK: The Consensus Security Alert

The Critical Vulnerability Analysis and the Security Alert Consensus have merged to become @RISK: The Consensus Security Alert. Delivered every Thursday, @RISK first summarizes the three to eight vulnerabilities that matter most, tells what damage they do and how to protect yourself from them, and then adds a unique feature: a summary of the actions 15 giant organizations have taken to protect their users.

@RISK adds to the critical vulnerability list a complete catalog of all the new security vulnerabilities discovered during the past week. Thus in one bulletin, you get the critical ones, what others are doing to protect themselves, plus a complete list of the full spectrum of newly discovered vulnerabilities.

This is also the subscription list that receives SANS Flash Alerts when they come out two or three times a year. More than 130,000 people are subscribers.

Ouch!

Wow! This is the first security awareness document that our users really like! Thank you, SANS

That note came from the CISO of an 8,000 employee organization. OUCH! is the first consensus monthly security awareness report for end users.

It shows them what to look for and how to avoid phishing and other scams plus viruses and other malware -- using the latest attacks as examples. It also provides pointers to great resources like the amazing Phishing Self-Test. 460 organizations, large and small, helped make it a useful service. More than 100 security officers check each issue for accuracy, and readability before it is distributed to the community.

If you want to distribute OUCH to all your users you may either forward it or subscribe a single address that is a mailing list.
