Internet Security

If you're a Christian organization connected to the Internet, it is absolutely imperative that you not leave yourself open to attack. We're in a war, and a responsible soldier doesn't leave the perimeter unguarded.

Emergency Response Organizations

• CERT, the Computer Emergency Response Team.
• NIST Computer Security Resource Clearinghouse
• CIAC, the U.S. government's Computer Security Technology Center.
• FIRST, the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams
• The home page for COAST, which stands for Computer Operations, Audit, and Security Technology.

Other Lists of Security Resources

• CIAC's list of Computer and Network Security Resources.
• Meckermedia's Internet security page.
• Jonathan Marsden's virus information page.

Commercial Firewalls

• A blatant plug for the SecureConnect firewall router from Morning Star Technologies, the best darn firewall for the price you can buy, if I do say so myself. Remember that Christian mission organizations get a great discount from MST -- software is free, and routers are at MST's cost.
• The page for BlackHole, another firewall-in-a-box that looks pretty good.
• The new SunScreen firewall from Sun Microsystems.

Security Consultants

• Firewall Security Corporation
• ISS
