This is a directory of sites that care about the security of your data. The subject can be confusing to those that don't work with it on a day to day basis but it's important that you at least understand teh basics if you want to stay ahead of the bad guys. I learned a lot about information security by studying the sites listed here. If there are sites you know of that would be a good fit for this directory please let me know. The site will be reviewed and added if it meets my standards. If you find this site useful please let others know about it.
