You do a lot of running, and you probably still miss the train. These questions and many others arising from the global scale of computer enterprise may tax the resources of you and your computer security specialist. Reviewing relevant magazines, publications and Web sites for intelligence can become a full time job. With more tasks to do than hours in a week allow, intelligence gathering cannot always be a priority. To catch political, social, technological, and military actions early is the goal of Internet intelligence work.
Larger companies do well to purchase early warning services.
But smaller companies do not have to be left out of the intelligence gathering process because of limited resources. It is possible through the thoughtful use of an Internet Explorer or a Netscape browser to create folders for various intelligence sites. Such organization makes for fairly rapid scanning of intelligence news on nearly a daily basis. Some services offer e-mail updates regarding alerts and major security events, although they aren't as timely as early warning services. Your e-mail folders may also contain additional links and data to build on the alert's initial information.
