Last 9 Weeks

            Over the past nine weeks my previous blog posts have been over varying topics, but primarily they were about how companies need to better educate their employees about network security and how the company needs to improve network security.  Several of the blogs discussed how employers needed to educate their employees, as well as themselves, on the risks of bringing your own device to work and educating employees on how to create secure passwords and not writing them down for others to find.  Edward Snowden stealing information from the NSA proves that no matter how secure companies believe they are there is always room for improvement.  Another blog discussed the need for more collaboration between companies to share information about the types of security threats that each company faced and what they have done to prevent future threats like these.

            I chose the above-mentioned topics because I believe these are areas that most businesses and employees need education and training on.  I used a variety of sources through the past nine weeks.  I believe that this type of blog can be useful to an information security professional.  The best way to stay up to date on current trends and information is to read information in magazines, on web sites and subscribe to newsletters
