Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

A very interesting report from the Secure Enterprise 2.0 Forum is available now as a 15 page PDF: "Top Web 2.0 Security Threats."  If you work in IT in a library, or for web services, you should take a look at the report to see if your work is secure or if there are more things you could be doing to protect yourself.  It includes a lot of programming language lingo and so is probably not the most friendly document for the layperson.  They feature different types of threats, and then sometimes give real world examples of the threats.  I do want to emphasize that many of these holes are already covered through proper use of firewalls, staff passwords, account information security, etc.  However, a quick read-through might make you re-think some of your practices, particularly if you have not re-examined your security protocols since the advent of Web 2.0 (which was several years back, so I hope that you have done a self-audit since then).
