NEW DELHI: McAfee, Inc. unveiled the debut issue of Sage, a semi-annual security journal designed to update and inform technical personnel and security executives on cutting-edge security topics to help them make more informed security decisions.
The premier issue of Sage includes feature articles, op-eds and in-depth technical pieces by industry experts discussing security topics, a McAfee statement said.
"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. "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."
The premier edition of Sage features in-depth analyses of many facets of open source. The statement said that open source principles, as practiced in the malware-writing community, have affected the evolution of threats. Open source practices have also changed the character and quality of malware and its development.
"Technical articles on the role of open source in Windows toolkit development and Apple's Macintosh OS X operating system can be found in the issue," McAfee added.
