Keeping Up to Date on Linux Security Issues


It's no surprise that computer security is a hot topic on the Web. You can find a lot about it in the technology news sites and most Linux-oriented news sites as well. Two sites you should be familiar with are

  • LinuxSecurity.com This is primarily a news service that scours the web for security-related information and commissions articles for its site as well. Every Monday morning, you can get the Linux Security Week newsletter in your inbox, with all the security warnings issued in the previous week so you can keep your system safe. The site also hosts Security HOWTOs, a glossary of security terms, and the comments and forums you expect on a PHP-driven website.

  • SecurityFocus.com Possibly the best general site on computer security and the host of the famous BugTraq mailing list. This extremely high-traffic list is often the first place the public learns of newly exposed application vulnerabilities. They also host a Focus on Linux list and offer an RSS feed for its news content and vulnerability announcements.

To keep up with the latest security updates for SUSE Linux, keep your SUSEwatcher application in your desktop taskbar, too. This will help you keep your system as secure as the SUSE/Novell engineers can make it.
