Thursday, February 23, 2006 - 11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET http://www.techweb.com/webcasts/ipbasedsystems022306 ----------------------------------------- Editor's Note: Getting A Grip On Linux Security For the past two weeks I've been running a poll at Security Pipeline to find out what your take is on Linux security. Right now the numbers show that a majority believes Linux security isn't bad at all, with 36% actually going so far as to describe it as extremely secure. If you haven't voted, cast your ballot this week as there'll be a new poll up come Monday. This week also brings a great article from contributing writer Jennifer Bosavage on the topic, and how security is really no longer a legitimate hurdle in keeping Linux from being planted within enterprises. But, as she points out, having great security doesn't always mean gaining market share as the small-to-midsize business wants the security the open-source platform offers, but they don't have the manpower to keep Linux running. You might also want to check out some other good Linux security articles: Why Linux Is More Secure Than Ever A tech expert discusses open source security, past and present, and how enterprises can ensure that their Linux environment is secured. Five Linux Security Myths You Can Live Without Ignorance may be bliss, but a smoking crater where your Linux workstation once sat is not. Here are some common Linux security myths that you're better off living without. And don't miss the new TechWeb Open Source Center that pull all the good info and news you need into one place when it comes to open source computing. And finally, if you are like most IT workers, you want to know where you stand; whether your career is on track; whether you deserve a raise. You can find that out and more by participating in InformationWeek's Annual Salary Survey. Not only that, you can win prizes and you can receive a 30+ page report that compares your salary and job satisfaction responses to those of your peers.
