| Linux distros join forces on security |
|
Red Hat has recently announced a community initiative called the Open Source Software Security community (oss-security). This project is an effort to manage security information in open source software by building on the collaborative foundation of the open source model. According to their wiki page, the purpose of the group is to encourage public discussion of security flaws, concepts, and practices in the Open Source community. The members of this group include, but are not limited to Open Source projects, distributors, researchers, and developers. If you are interested in security and Linux distributions don't forget to subscribe to this list.

| Detect insider threats with Linux auditing |
|
According to the 2005 Computer Security Institute and Federal Bureau of Investigation Computer Crime and Security Survey, organizations reported that computer intrusions from inside sources accounted for nearly half of all incidents. You can secure your network perimeter with intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and virus scanners, but don't neglect to monitor authorized users. The Linux Audit daemon can help you detect violations of your security policies.
