Please excuse this short break from our normal Information Security updates.

This is a shameless plug for the MX Logic IT Security Blog and Security Buzz podcast.  Please take a moment out of your busy schedule to nominate our blog and podcast for a Social Security Award at the upcoming RSA conference in San Francisco.  As a sidebar to the conference a number of security bloggers and podcasters are having a meetup (if you fall into this category and are attending RSA, please register for the meetup.  There are only a limited number of slots available!).

The URL to make nominations is http://socialsecurityawards.com.  Once you are at that page, click the "Next" button to enter your specific blog/podcast nominations in a number of different categories.  We would appreciate your nomination in the "Best Security Podcast" (if you currently do not listen to Security Buzz, you can subscribe via iTunes here), Best Technical Security Blog (use "MX Logic IT Security Blog" as the title in your nomination and http://mxlogic.com/itsecurityblog/index.cfm as the URL), and "Best Corporate Security Blog" (use same title and URL as the Technical Security Blog). 

Thank you in advance for your time!

We now return you to our regular security programming....
