The DHS has launched a series of e-mail distributions that may be of interest to you:

1. Technical Documents: Technical language, specific details for experienced users and system administrators

a. Technical Cyber Security Alerts: Technical Cyber Security Alerts provide timely information about current security issues, vulnerabilities, and exploits.

b. Cyber Security Bulletins: Cyber Security Bulletins provide bi-weekly summaries of security issues and new vulnerabilities. They also provide patches, workarounds, and other actions to help mitigate risk.

2. Non-technical Documents: Common language, overall concepts for home and corporate computer users

a. Cyber Security Alerts: Cyber Security Alerts provide timely information about current security issues, vulnerabilities, and exploits. They are released in conjunction with Technical Cyber Security Alerts when there is an issue that affects the general public. Cyber Security Alerts outline the steps and actions that non-technical home and corporate computer users can take to protect themselves from attack. http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/signup.html#a b. Cyber Security Tips: Cyber Security Tips describe common security issues and offer advice for non-technical home and corporate computer users. Although each one is restricted to a single topic, complex issues may span multiple tips. Each tip builds upon the knowledge, both terminology and content, of those published prior to it.
