Re: Security Tips For The Small Business From 70, 000 Feet

[Russell Eubanks <securityeverafter () gmail com>]

Adrian,

I recently submitted a SANS GCIA Gold paper on implementing the SANS  
Top 20 Security Controls in a small business. I was inspired by the  
success of the US Department of State. My method was to lean into  
existing security and admin tools and not spend any extra money. I  
believe it turned out nicely. I am about half way through a series of  
blog posts on this work at www.securityeverafter.com.

Hope it helps,
Russell Eubanks
