Obviously, I think this blog would have been better if I had been able to keep up with it and post every week like I was supposed to. Unfortunately, life got in the way, between illness and surgery, and I was forced to post several of my assignment posts at the end. I've had many blogs in the past, and that seemed to always be my problem. I was gung ho in the beginning, and then as life gets in the way, blogging went by the wayside. I had a pretty popular political blog about 15 years ago, but then I got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and my interests got pointed elsewhere, and I took it down.
For my topics, I focused mainly on IT security issues, but there were a few deviations. For sources, I searched the internet to find articles rather than using our textbook. I tried to choose topics for each week that were interesting to me so that I can learn as well.
I think that a blog could be very helpful for a security professional. One, you can make a name for yourself if you are a good blogger. You can network and make contacts as well. Also, as a security professional, you should always be learning and reading about new things. A blog is a good way to keep yourself up to date, and push you to find interesting topics to read and learn about.
