- The ramblings in the Beast or Buddha IT Security blog are predominantly focused around IT Security topics. They are just my own takes on the industry and comments from industry peers. I don't profess to being able to solve the world's problems but happy to open myself up to criticisms and debate.

CIS are fantastic and have been helping people hardening their kit for years.
While people will certainly argue about specific points in their hardening guides, its all good. Its one of few groups that really benefit the community through promoting simple good practice.

Old skool RAT(Router Audit Tool) and the like… renamed now etc. They are currently working on log anonymisation and submission thereof, including privacy in data mining to allay fears of enterprises/orgs, akin to medical record anonymity.

Commentary referenced them/tools here, basically saying their tools with better scoring systems would be nice.

Nothing to see here. Like the securitymetrics mailing list. Round and round and a bunch of experts going nowhere. You haven’t missed anything on both counts!
