What Twitter #hashtags apply to IT Security

#infosec and #security are the two main hashtags I'm aware of.

Depending on what you're interested in there are other less popular hashtags. For example:

• #websecurity
• #privacy
• #cybercrime
• #cyberwar
• #hacker and #hackers
• #cybersecurity
• #malware
• #spam

There's also the option to use multiple hashtags in your search. If, for example, you are interested in Android security, you can search for "#android AND #security".

It all depends on the type of content your are posting. In most cases you will need more than one #Tag for your tweet to make the right sense and ranking.

• #InfoSec (preferred abbreviation)
• #InformationSecurity (if you have some characters left in your tweet)
• #Risk (Topics also relating to risk management)
• #Privacy
• #Malware
• #Virus
• #Spam
• #BYOD
• #DataTheft / #DataLoss / #DataLeak
• #CISO / #CSO (If your tweet needs to draw attention of senior management audience)
• #Breach (If you are referring to a compromise)
• #Hack / #Hacker (You may use these along with #Breach)
• #MobileSec / #MobileSecurity
