How can I stay up-to-date on computer (especially software) security? [closed]

Question

I recently bought and read a box set of books on security (Building Secure Software: How to Avoid Security Problems the Right Way, Exploiting Software: How to Break Code, and Software Security: Building Security In). Although I think that the contents of these books will be useful for years to come, the authors do acknowledge that the world of computer and software security changes very quickly. What are some ways that I could stay on top of the latest happenings in these areas?

Answer 1

I follow Schneier on Security in my RSS reader.

Answer 2

Listen to the security now podcast, on twit. After then depending on the OSes you are using you should subscribe their security mailing lists, or rss feed.

Answer 3

The Register's Security section. RSS available. (I am a big fan of El Reg.)

Also, and it might be a little lightweight for a coder, but the Security Now! podcast with Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte is decent.

Answer 4

If you can afford it (or convince your employer to pay), go to at least one conference a year. As a last resort, there's always Defcon, which takes place on a weekend and is only $100. It's not as professional as, say, Black Hat, but it's better than nothing.
