Russ McRee's HolisticInfoSec.org is dedicated to sharing information security content and resources in an open, clear manner, with the hope of helping improve infosec for all who seek to do so. Information security is best broken down to the most simple components: best practices and common sense.

Think creatively, but adhere to standards
Employ best practices
