I also see a lot of value in including recommendations for applicable tools/technologies that are easily accessible, easy to use, and yet effective, with strong affinity towards open source, and therefore would be very appreciative for input on per-topic basis. So far in regards to the topics, I have (In no particular order) - Security Awareness and High Level Training - Account Management / Password Management / Local Admin Rights - Email Etiqute, Email Threats, and Email Security - Network and System Vulnerability Scanning/Patching - Network Security (Firewalls) - Backups and Backup Security - Wireless and WiFi Security - System Security, AV/HIPS - Website Security and Web/Application Security Testing - Sensitive Information and Applicable Laws, Regulations, and Compliance Requirements Any valuable input would be greatly appreciated.
