Dear
Are Your Software Versions Up To Date? Follow @forlinux_alerts To Be Sure
Reuters News Agency has been hacked 3 times in less than a month due to, it is said, its
use of an old version of Wordpress for its blogging platform. The old version is known to
have security issues. This illustrates the importance of ensuring that your software
versions remain fully patched to remove identified vulnerabilities - and that you rapidly
migrate to a newer version if you receive an 'end of life' notification for your
current version. To keep your data and systems as safe as possible, we advise that you
review your software versions as quickly as possible. Follow @forlinux_alerts and
we'll keep you informed of all the major security alerts that you need to know about.
ForLinux managed support solutions ensure that our customers servers are regularly patched
to help avoid the situation above.

EU Security Directive - Data Breach
The key point within the directive is that an organisation could be asked to audit its
security stance at any moment in time, with little prior notice - or at any time a data
breach is discovered. Using an audit taken previously will not suffice, instead an
overview covering security policies, compliance and data protection and which reflects
the situation when the request is made, is required. Tools for automation of the audit
process are bound to emerge in the coming months. We will be evaluating the best of these
in the run up to Christmas and will provide update through our blogs and newsletters.
