InfoWorld launches security iGuide

Enterprise security has become ridiculously complex. InfoWorld’s latest iGuide, “Security threats and countermeasures,” is our latest effort to isolate the most common attacks and compile essential information on what you can do to stop them.

As with our first iGuide on the enterprise data explosion, the new security iGuide uses Flash animation to provide a basic understanding of the issues, and then points to deeper material in the form of webcasts and downloadable reports composed by InfoWorld writers. If you’re building or revising your security strategy, our security iGuide is a good place to start.

After all, it’s the Roger Grimes show — that is, nearly all the material in the iGuide was either influenced by or developed by Roger. Fans of his work realize he’s one of the best minds in endpoint security today. For proof, go directly to Roger’s Deep Dive Report on today’s malware and what to do about it; his description of how current malware works reflects a keen understanding of the threatscape. The countermeasures Roger describes may seem simple, but they derive from extensive experience and testing.

Two other reports by Roger are featured in our iGuide: the Web Browser Security Deep Dive Report and the Windows 7 Security Deep Dive Report. Even if you understand the issues, I guarantee that Roger will offer you an interesting perspective in all three reports.

That’s just a partial list of what you’ll find in our iGuide to security threats and countermeasures. As with our iGuide on the enterprise data explosion, we will continue to add material and grow the Flash portal over time. And as usual, we welcome your suggestions.
