It gives me great pleasure to announce
that SBL have embarked upon an
exciting new project; the development
and maintenance of a Cyber Security
Research Wiki.
Recent collaboration with Academia and Industry both
here and overseas has served to identify a clear and
profound requirement for a central repository of useful
and leading edge cyber security research, information,
and best practice guidance material.
Many leading Academic Institutes publish research
material, white papers, best practice documents
etc. within their own domains or within their own
communities. Some of these useful resources are more
accessible than others (indeed much of this is public
domain through various websites), yet it is clear that
there is no single searchable area where practitioners
can access this information as they seek to bolster their
security in the wake of new Cyber threats.
A wiki is a very familiar and useful format for such a
resource, and whilst we concede that the ability to
include everything that could possibly be useful in this
context would be an unsurmountable task, we do
believe that through working with the various experts
in our community we can get the best and most
relevant content produced in a wiki that practitioners
can reference and make excellent use of. This could
be extremely useful both the public and private sector,
could save countless hours of research time, and crucially
will help organisations improve their security.
Working with our global Academic and Industry
partners, SBL are in the process of coordinating a
gathering of willing "Cyber Experts" to assist with the
production, collation, vetting, and monitoring of Cyber
Security Research Wiki content. As this team grows,
the content will become more comprehensive, more
innovative, and more diverse. Indeed it will improve
exponentially as the collaboration extends and develops.
The wiki is interdisciplinary and the team behind the
content will comprise leading experts from the key
Academic institutes from around the world, as well as
experts within the Cyber Security Industry.
The wiki has been built with some provisional content
uploaded in the BETA version. We are now pleased
to announce that we have entered the testing phase!
Layered security is provided through the use of Digital
Certificates, and we are now ready to engage you, the
Cyber community and CyberTalk readership in this
breakthrough common good initiative!
We hope you will all benefit from access to the content,
and hope you will all be willing to provide constructive
feedback which will help us to improve and develop this
resource over time. Indeed, we hope we can identify
some new collaborators out there, people who produce
content that could be useful to the Cyber community
in the on-going fight against our common threats and
adversaries.
To apply for your free Digital Certificate which will
provide "read only" access to the Wiki, please contact
support@cybertalkwiki.co.uk.
You can also join the discussion on our Cyber Security
Research Wiki LinkedIn page on http://ow.ly/tvbCe
We look forward to working with you to develop and
deliver this new and exciting resource!
