Information security is an ongoing process.
This process requires the monitoring of security lists by personnel who understand what the bulletins mean and how they may affect your configuration. In conjunction with security lists it is important to monitor key newsgroups and defacement databases. These two areas are critical because many compromises are discussed prior to compromise, or sometimes even as it is in progress. Defacements are often immediately archived in the defacement databases. These databases and newsgroups, in effect, provide an early warning system for a compromise in a widely dispersed environment.
