Sophos starts a security blog

Sophos announced the launch of a new security blog designed to provide breaking news, insight and commentary on emerging security threats.

The SophosLabs blog, which will be written by leading security researchers at SophosLabs, Sophos’s global network of malware and spam analysis centres, will be updated several times a day to cover the latest technical information and stories of interest. Regular contributions from researchers based in Oxford, Boston, Vancouver and Sydney will allow for round-the-clock updates. Main contributors in the UK will include Vanja Svajcer and Fraser Howard, principal virus researchers at SophosLabs, as well as Mark Harris, global director of SophosLabs.

“In today’s world of rapidly evolving security threats, organisations need swift access to information about what’s out there, what’s interesting and what’s causing a problem,” said Mark Harris, global director of SophosLabs. “The new blog provides Sophos customers, business partners and the general public with updates on interesting new malware and spam techniques, insight into web-based threats, and even examples of when hackers get it very very wrong.”
