About Our Resources The team at RVASI firmly believes that one of the key components needed for designing, building, and maintaining secure systems is the ability to find useful resources quickly. In order to assist in this area, our team has collected and published links to a rich variety of Information Security recourses that we hope will be helpful.
Broken Links The Web is a very dynamic place; a link today may not mean a link tomorrow. We would greatly appreciate your assistance with helping us maintain the usefulness of this Resource page by reporting any broken or questionable links you encounter. We request that you send the link in question, along with a brief description of the issue, to webmaster@rvasi.com.
The team at RVASI is always on the lookout for great links to Information Security resources and related materials. If you know of one or more links that fit this bill, please send an email with the link(s) to resourcelinks@rvasi.com. All submitted links will be evaluated and those deemed suitable/appropriate will be published.
Also, we often reward our top link contributors with RVASI G3AR!
