Chris Binnie is a British information-security consultant and technical author whose work focuses on cloud and Linux security. He has written for specialist magazines such as Linux Magazine and ADMIN Magazine, and is the author of three books, including Linux Server Security: Hack and Defend (2016).[1] He founded the colocation specialist Below Zero in 2001.[2]
Career
[edit]In June 1997 The Scotsman profiled Binnie as “a net security guru” while he was working for Internet-service provider NSL.[3]
In May 2001 Binnie founded the Edinburgh-based web-hosting firm Below Zero. The Herald reported that the start-up had secured venture funding to expand its co-location facilities at Telecity’s data centre, highlighting plans to offer hosting services to small businesses.[2]
Writing
[edit]Binnie has contributed hands-on articles and opinion columns on Linux security and administration to Linux Magazine, ADMIN Magazine and other trade outlets since 2001.[4]
Reception
[edit]A review in Help Net Security described Linux Server Security as “a step-by-step tutorial” that “will come handy and should be interesting to Linux systems administrators,” praising Binnie’s accessible style.[1] *Full Circle Magazine* and *Linux Book Reviews* also reviewed the book.[5][6]
The MagPi magazine wrote that Practical Linux Topics “packs plenty of useful admin know-how” for both professional and everyday Linux users.[7]
