Subject: CASPR Anti-virus Management and Protection discussion group

Somebody recently pointed me to CASPR, the Commonly Accepted Security
Practices and Recommendations group (www.caspr.org), loosely associated with
ISC2 (www.isc2.org).  They are looking for group leaders to lead groups in
order to prepare papers on a variety (about 70) of security topics roughly
grouped under the ten CBK domains.

I have created a Yahoo group for the Anti-virus Management and Protection
topic, notified the CASPR people, and have apparently been accepted as the
group leader.  I have used the name malware in order to be somewhat more
inclusive in the discussion.  (I note that in CASPR viruses come under
Computer Operations, whereas they appear in Applications Development in the
ISC2 domains.)

The group name is CASPRmalware.  To join, send e-mail to:
      CASPRmalware-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
or see the group home page:
      http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CASPRmalware
The group e-mail address is:
      CASPRmalware@yahoogroups.com

This group is for discussion and preparation of the CASPR
(http://www.caspr.org, Commonly Accepted Security Practices and
Recommendations) Anti-virus Management and Protection document.

Currently membership is open and the discussion is unmoderated.  I reserve
the right to change that if circumstances warrant :-)

If any of you are interested, I would be delighted to have you join.
