Reading Room

From time to time, we publish or post information (e.g., articles, papers, opinion-editorials) that we feel is of general security interest to our clients. This page will serve as a pointer/repository of that sort of information.

Columns

Ken publishes monthly columns on for Jupiter Media's on-line IT Security news portal, eSecurityPlanet. We've stopped listing those here, but you can always get them on the eSecurityPlanet site directly.

Articles

Here's a few pointers to various articles published by Ken and some of our Associates.
