  1. This has nothing to do with information security other than we all sit too much and would benefit from standing a bit more. I have wanted a standing desk for along time and my friend Martin has built his own for $65. Looks like I'm out of excuses.

What to Read Wednesday: InfosecCynic Channel

by kriggins on October 19, 2011

in WtRW

Wait. What? Can it be?

Yup! What to Read Wednesday's is back. To refresh your memory, What to Read Wednesday posts are pointers to folks whom I think produce excellent content. You can see previous posts here.

This week's post is a bit different in that it isn't so much something you should read, but something you should watch. Javvad Malick's InfosecCynic Youtube channel is pure gold. You will laugh, you will cry and you will go 'what the....?', and in the process, you will get exposed to some great ideas and methods of conveying information security topics to various audiences.

A couple of my favorites.

Avoiding Security Budget Cuts: http://www.youtube.com/user/InfosecCynic#p/a/u/0/irRJdZo5x3U

Compliance vs. Security: http://www.youtube.com/user/InfosecCynic#p/u/11/CBdg0682Qzg

You can also follow Javvad on Twitter at @j4vv4d.

His website is here: http://www.j4vv4d.com/
