A few updates on what's happening on maltainfosec.org

We realised that we tend to retweet a lot of tweets from HelpNetSecurity due to the obvious relevance of their articles --- as such instead of RT their posts, we added a new column to the right of our webpage linking to the RSS article feed of HelpNetSecurity. 'Caps off' to the guys at HelpNetSecurity!

We have new competition rules in the pipeline --- we'll be releasing a short article on this shortly --- thanks to our Sponsors!

Meanwhile, a short note to promote an excellent magazine which has released its fourth issue just today.

Digital Forensics Magazine, one of the fastest growing resources available for IT security specialists, launches its fourth edition. With a global coverage, the print and online magazine is fast establishing itself as the must-have magazine for practitioners and students of digital forensics.

Being a subscriber from issue 1 and a DF tutor on behalf of NCC, another 'caps off' & kudos to this excellent magazine which focuses on very relevant topics hitting the nail on the head by striking the right balance between legal aspect of Information Security and Forensics and technical review content. If you haven't subscribed yet, we recommend you visit their website and sign-up - http://www.digitalforensicsmagazine.com/

Issue 4, released online on August 1st 2010, takes a look at how effective traditional digital forensic techniques are at obtaining forensically sound data in scenarios where computer misuse has been used in attempts to frame the innocent. The DFM team also investigates and details the state of digital forensics in law enforcement around the world identifying which countries are doing well and which have much to do, highlighting the disparity in skills and qualifications between each. In a world that is getting ever more interconnected and one in which international online crime is on the increase, the industry should look to establish and apply minimum standards .

The rest of the article gives some more information and article tasters from Issue 4...
