TechWeb Launches 'Security Clan' Website on Internet Evolution

TechWeb, the global leader in business technology media, today launched the "Security Clan" (www.internetevolution.com/securityclan.asp), a specialized information resource for investigating the myriad internal and external threats to corporate resources and the Internet. The Security Clan is part of Internet Evolution (www.internetevolution.com), TechWeb's upstart Website focused on the future of the Internet.

The Security Clan's readership will comprise senior IT security professionals and CIOs working within large enterprise organizations. Site users will receive access to exclusive, in-depth intelligence about the future of the Internet and its impact on the enterprise and their jobs.

The Security Clan also features an active social networking component with household names in IT and Internet technology bloggers who interact daily with readers via message boards on the site.

"Security consistently tops IT spending categories, and with good reason: The nature of the underlying threats is constantly changing," says Terry Sweeney, Editor-in-Chief of Internet Evolution. "Our Security Clan's bloggers collectively bring several decades of experience in virtually every aspect of security, from software to networks and personal security and beyond. That's critical for IT departments, since the value of corporate data only continues to increase and has never been more vulnerable."

Internet Evolution also announced new contributors to the Security Clan today:

Steven Batson -- In addition to his CISSP, MCSE, TCP, and BSEE credentials, Batson is also CEO of N-Shield LLC, a security consultancy, and brings years of experience in enterprise security management.
