Moves to professionalise Infosec

Was at the ISC2 Secure London conference yesterday. Interesting day, and lots of interesting info. Check out uksaint.org which is a site supported by Intellect, the trade body for the UK hi-tech industry. It is currently hosting the working group info for the move to professionalising the information security industry.

Another interesting URL mentioned was www.staysafeonline.org which could be of use to your average user.

Interesting stats - from Gartner originally

75% of attacks are at application level
70% of vulnerabilities as at application level

and

Reducing the number of application vulnerabilities by 50% should lead to a 75% reduction in costs!
