Infosecurity Magazine

My blogs for Infosecurity Magazine were mostly on Apple-related security subjects, though not to the extent they were when I originally started to write for them. Here’s a direct link to the site, or at least to my contributions. Of course, there isn’t much likelihood of my blogging for them again, since I’m largely out of the security business. Curiously enough, one of the other contributers to the blog seems to be (ISC)2: although I used to write for (ISC)2 in other contexts, my writing for Infosecurity Magazine has always been as an independent commentator.
