Your mashups should also work on Android’s browser with only a few small issues. Chrome and Mobile Safari have been added to the list of supported browsers.

Rafael Ruffolo writes what’s needed to execute incident management practices.
“An incident management capability is the ability to provide management of computer security events and incidents. It implies end-to-end management for controlling or directing how security events and incidents should be handled. This involves defining a process to follow with supporting policies and procedures in place, assigning roles and responsibilities, having appropriate equipment, infrastructure, tools, and supporting materials ready, and having qualified staff identified and trained to perform the work in a consistent, high-quality, and repeatable way.”
