Howdy!
I would like to please request a new subsection for IT Security discussions, guides, etc. I am aware that there is currently a [Security Feeds] section, but I feel like that section has a very specific purpose and should be separated from other threads.
I propose the following:
- Add a new [SecurIT] subsection; perhaps below [Tech Support].
- Move [Security Feeds] into the new [SecurIT] subsection
- Create a new subforum in that [SecurIT] subsection. Name idea: [The Lockdown Lounge]
- Consider expanding later on, if needed
I envision this section as a communication bridge between developers, sysadmins, support, and security. It’s really helpful to have channels like this open where these groups can co-mingle, specifically on the topic of security. There can be an unfortunate level of animosity between these IT subgroups. I would love to foster an open environment where the criticality of security can be discussed, shared, and embraced by everyone involved in the IT field. The goal being to create a more collaborative atmosphere.
This could open the door more topics in these areas:
- Security best practices, guidelines, and recommendations.
- Discussions about the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and emerging trends.
- In-depth analyses of security incidents and their implications.
- Security tools, resources, and training materials.
- Tutorials and how-to guides for implementing security measures, hardening systems, and improving overall security posture.
- Q&A threads to address specific security-related questions, concerns, or issues.
- Collaboration opportunities, including sharing ideas and solutions for security projects and initiatives.
This is definitely the niche of IT that I live in and I enjoy sharing my passion for it.
