IT Security Vendors Worth Following on Twitter
Enterprise IT companies are setting up Twitter accounts in droves, and security companies are among the most enthusiastic given that Twitter is ideal for quick updates on vulnerabilities such as Conficker/Downadup..
Among other vendors that have more than one-way Twitter feeds is Fortinet, a maker of unified threat management appliances. It often highlights posts to its frequently updated blog (one recent headline: "Booby-trapped javascripts threaten malware analysts"), but also strikes a conversational tone in communicating with customers and partners. TippingPoint Tweets posts from its DVLabs blog but also gets creative, such as by doing a play-by-play account of a security contest from the CanSecWest conference.
