The global leader in Intrusion Prevention and Security Risk Management has launched today the debut issue of Sage. The unveiling is just the first step in what is intended to be a semi-annual journal dedicated to the security field. Sage addresses a professional target made up of mainly technical personnel and security executives and is designed to provide specialized information on security topics. "To stay ahead in today's ever-shifting threat landscape, security experts and practitioners need a dedicated and timely outlet like Sage where they can discuss poignant and compelling security issues," said Stuart McClure, senior vice president, global research and threats at McAfee, Inc. "Our premier issue takes a hard look at the supporting role of open source, how it has influenced a generation of malware and what that means for us as security professionals." Sage's premier issue revolves around topics of financial motivation in the spawn of malware, and deepens the perspective over the actual role of such incentives. Furthermore it highlights the effects of premeditated malware and the integration of open source practices in malware creation. "Good Intentions Gone Awry: A look at how open source principles, as practiced in the malware-writing community, have affected the evolution of threats. Money Changes Everything: How financial incentives and open source practices have changed the character and quality of malware and its development. Building Better Bots: An examination of the impact that professional development methodologies are having on this particular type of malware and the implications and issues associated with their use," are a few of the headlines of Sage.
