Top 3 Tips to Writing an Information Security Job Description

Top 3 Tips to Writing an Information Security Job Description:

"Problem #1 is that there are few security candidates who have the requisite skills or desire to perform Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Security Architect, Security Analyst or Security Engineer roles at the same time.

Problem #2 is that if they can perform all those roles, they are going to charge you a heck of a lot of money to do it. I bet more than your most likely improperly budgeted for role can pay.

Problem #3 if they take the position for the wrong amount of money, they probably do not know what they are doing. By the way, there are a lot of these folks out there."

How to Stop Stegoloader and Other Types of Digital Steganography Malware - CSO | The Resource for Data Security Executives: "researchers from Dell SecureWorks who recently analyzed Stegoloader say that it’s more similar to “mass market” commodity malware than it is to threats used in targeted attacks. Yet with that being said, they also add there are probably several undiscovered Stegoloader modules, and that the malware’s potent information-stealing capabilities (described below) would certainly fit a campaign against a targeted victim."
