Updated page 10/17/2021
Finally made another update – I may have to redo this whole thing here – but for now I rejiggered Fire Eye as they have reduced their frequency of updates, and internet Storm center dropped a bit – after reviewing Technewsworld – it has a lot more in there – so I moved that up.
periodically reviewing the links is good, I fixed a link that did not work right.
- Cybersecurity value (subjective (my prerogative) (first value)
- Industrylinks (‘Cybersecurity’ keyword) ( second value)
- Attacker information (China, Russia, and others) (third value)
- Google importance information site discusses relevant Google news) (fourth value)
- Recent updates frequency (fifth value)
- video/audio(podcasts) relevance my subjective value – I am giving Irongeek.com a 10 and going down from there, but these are initial values, Changed these values in June 1, 2018
- High cybersecurity value
I keep the list and its numbers in a spreadsheet so I can make changes when necessary.
