Information Security Now is the quarterly BCS magazine for all those in the BCS who are interested in the broad field of information security. It is produced in collaboration with the ISSG and using the BCS-ISSG Committee as its editorial advisors.
It can be viewed online by anyone from http://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=nav.8334.
A printed version is available, but exclusively for BCS-ISSG members. It is sent to all ISSG members by post as soon as it is published, usually long before the online version is available from the BCS server.
Do you like the feel of real paper in your hands and the enjoyment of reading a professionally printed, full colour technical magazine wherever and whenever you choose? If you do prefer paper and print, then you need to join the ISSG!
For example, the Spring 2008 issue includes the following:
 |
.Social networks at work. Our editor investigates why use of social networks drives many a CIO or IT manager to despair. |
|
Legal realities in virtual worlds. Charlotte Walker-Osborn and Jonathan Price from Eversheds LLP explore some of the legal implications of virtual worlds. |
|
Born to serve. Gerhard Eschelbeck, CTO of Webroot, explains why companies big and small need to think about email good practice. |
|
The year of the guru. An interview with Bruce Schneier. |
|
The right tools for the job. John Mitchell explains why standards and qualifications are essential for IS governance. |
|
For the want of privileged password management. Calum Macleod, European Director of Cyber-Ark, argues that recent events at French Bank Societe Generale are yet another example of illegal insider activities and poor password management. |
|
Stay safe but be flexible. John Livingston, Chairman and CEO of Absolute Software, warns us that the workplace is changing as a new generation of employees enter the workforce with expectations of flexible work time, blurring the line between traditional work and personal time. |
|
Don't let control go out the Windows. Peter Wood, CEO of First Base Technologies, shows that although you may have to run Microsoft Windows, you don't need to be a victim to any of its flaws. |
|
In addition, as always, there are the usual magazine features, such as forthcoming events and news about the ISSG itself. |
