Hi,

I just got word that InfoSec Island published an interview with a
company that uses the OSSTMM for security tests. He explains why they
use it and what it means for them.

Mike starts the article: "While re-addressing the OSSTMM and its
application/usefulness in my firm's business, I wanted to gain the
perspective of a company that's been using the OSSTMM for some time.
More specifically, I wanted to know if that company's clients have
seen a measurable improvement in their information security programs,
since that is our overall goal, right?"

It's a nice follow-up to the OSSTMM overview Mike posted earlier and I
think it answers some of the things we get asked all the time at ISECOM.
