Holger, There are a bunch of slide sets on the CERT web site at: http://www.cert.org/nav/present.html The one labeled "Home Computer and Internet User Security (ppt)" might be close to what you need. I have some slide sets up there as well, but my stuff is too detailed for a management audience. rCs
I am sure that quite a few of you already have done or know who has done this non-technical, "mundane" job: I need a few slides with data (e.g. numbers, or maybe historic examples) to convince a management-level audience of a manufacturer of networked appliances who has only a dim view of security of two things: - security is a problem for anybody developing software running on networked hardware, and it is a rapidly growing problem with a clear economic impact - a large part of vulnerabilities stems from bad coding practices, and there are companies that actively and successfully combat this Pointers to relevant web pages would be nearly as nice as finished Powerpoint slides. (Aside: You shouldn't view my request like that of a student asking for someone to steal his homework from: Everyone in our community needs such data in some form or other at some time, and we should all contribute to making everyone in the community look as good as possible in this respect in, to advance our common cause of more secure software. I have contributed to the community, too.) Thanks for your input, Holger Peine
