SecurityFocus.com is looking writers. The topics we are searching for
contributors on are as follows:

Intrusion Detection:

 Ideal candidates will possess hands-on, real world experience in
deploying and maintaining an IDS and are familiar with a wide range of
commercial and freeware IDS products (IDS, Vulnerability Scanners, File
Integrity Checkers). The target audience for these articles will primarily
be system administrators who are looking to purchase, deploy, and maintain
an IDS. Therefore, practical 'how-to' articles would be most desirable.
However, we are not strictly limited to that subject and topic suggestions
are very welcome.

Incident Handling:

 Ideal candidates will possess strong knowledge and experience in the area
of incident handling/response. Topics that fall within the scope of this
area are the establishment of an Information Protection Center (IPC, also
known as a CSIRT [Computer Security Incident Response Team]), what
authorities to contact in the event of a compromise, misuse prevention,
forensic analysis, security policy development, etc.

 Strong technical, writing and analytical skills are essential, along with
the ability to submit material in a timely manner. Those qualified are
encouraged to send a list of relevant credentials to
ids_ir () securityfocus com and optionally, ideas and topics for possible
articles you may have.
