The following list presents common information security mistakes and misconceptions, so you can avoid making them.
EdgeBlog has a great article entitles It's Still the Latency, Stupid...pt.1. A great thing for junior admins and other folks to read to get a good understanding of the Latency issues that can plague a network.

I've had issues online before that would have been very difficult to solve had it not been for my technical bowstaff skillset.
A Seattle-based security researcher has devised a way to test for Net neutrality.
Dan Kaminsky will share details of this technique, which will eventually be rolled into a free software tool, today at the Black Hat USA security conference in Las Vegas. The software can tell whether computers are treating some types of TCP/IP traffic better than others -- dropping data that is being used in voice-over-IP (VoIP) calls or treating encrypted data as second-class.

AnalogX makes such wonderful utilities.
I always forget this, so. Here it is...
