RSS feeds for cybersecurity that wouldn't overwhelm your mom

September 9, 2015 12:48 PM

What are the best sites/blogs/feeds for business-centered, "safe" topics about general corporate cybersecurity?

Not interested in the latest Ashley Madison stuff or other provocative topics, or super-techy stuff either.

Just a stream of sensible articles that won't scare people who are just your average corporate workforce. Trying to support a baseline of awareness about phishing, spoofing, safe passwords... all the things you wish your mom was better at.

Does this exist?

No section-specific feed available, but you may also want to keep an eye on the security content at CIOReview.

Response by poster: Zamboni, the SANS Tip of the Day is right up our alley. Thanks for the heads up.

The Infosec Taylor Swift twitter feed has some surprisingly useful content. There's a fair bit of noise in the signal, but the signal - particularly her focus on practical security as opposed to 'BUT IT WON'T STOP THE NSA - WE HAVE TO STOP THE NSA' sort of infosec-wankery - is great.

Naked Security (perfectly safe for work or for any other circumstances, in spite of the name) and Graham Cluley both are what you're looking for. Both are written by security experts, but they're not overly technical and have a lot of 'this vulnerability has been discovered, what does it mean for businesses and users' content.
