Tripwire has a recommendation of Security Influencers to follow in 2015, along with their Twitter handle. While I second all of the recommendations, it is particularily notable that 3 out of these 15 names work – or have worked – for Akamai. These guys are @BillBrenner70, @gattaca and @JOSHCORMAN.

Had this in my inbox yesterday:
Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM): Uses Data Encryption Standard (DES) in the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Mode.
Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME): Uses the user’s encryption algorithm with RC2, DES, and 3DES for confidentiality.
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP): Uses the International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) for encryption of bulk data.
Synchronous data link control / SDLC: supports loop or hub go-ahead configuration used with bounded and unbounded media.
High Level Data Link Control / HDLC: Provides an option for a 32bit checksum, maintains data integrity, and provides flow control.
Link access procedure balanced / LAPB: Performs packet framing operations, using I-, S- and U-frames.
