CyberSec News and Staying Up to Date
Keeping up with various Cyber/Information Security can be done through various Social media, such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, or RSS Feeds. With some of the platforms dying or just going down hill, I wanted to show places of ways to get updates in the Cyber/Information Security world.
There is also Mastodon, I myself am on infosec.exchange, and BlueSky. Though Mastodon isn’t always the easiest to Navigate and BlueSky has a relatively small user base at the moment.
There is also HackerNews from ycombinator, and CyberWire
Reddit works, it just depends on which Subreddit you follow, since anyone can make a post at any time so it can be flooded with people asking questions or nonsense. So it depends n the moderators or bots to kind of keep things cleaned up. Some of the various subreddits I follow are:
Though there are plenty of others, there’s a subreddit for just about anything/everything.
Twitter is where a large things are posted often and first, but as of recently it’s been on a down slope and more so after various rumors of it being you need to pay to use it. People and groups I follow include:
and plenty of others. Who I follow on Twitter.
Linked in is also a great place to follow people who have one and post a lot, like John Hammond or TCM Sec. Some of the other people/group/companies I follow are:
- CyberSecurityHub
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
- John Strand
- HackTheBox
- SANS Digital Forensics and Incident Response
- TrustedSec
and plenty more.
