Daniel Kennedy, Master of Science in Information Assurance (MSIA) from the School of Graduate Studies of Norwich University and co-created the information security blog PraetorianPrefect, which received a nomination for Security Blog of the Year at the RSA Conference, recently become a contributor to a blog at Forbes Online, The Forbes Firewall.

He stated, My goal is to relate current stories in information security to the everyday challenges facing people in companies, universities, and government agencies. ‘Why did this event occur?’ and ‘What might have prevented or mitigated its negative effects?’ are the types of questions I intend to provide some analysis on for reader thought and discussion.

One of his blogging goals is to educate readers that before they hire a vendor, demand answers as to how personal data is protected. Before installing a specialty vendor product, ask about the last time it underwent a security test and to see the results.

Kennedy wants to reduce the number of people treating information security concerns as an afterthought or minimizing its importance. He confirms the enormous gap between those who have their act together and those who do not.

This sounds like a good opportunity for Toney & Co to enter that Forbes blog discussion with expert contributions a la Bouncer by CT and application whitelisting, and thereby help to close that chasm between those who understand and those who don’t that Kennedy writes about.

If implement Bouncer is the one thing you would for security if you only could do one thing, then it follows it’s also the one thing you would not want to leave out of your security systems.
