Today I was thinking about one-hit wonders. As personal digital assistants become more powerful and merge with wireless technology, new means are necessary to ensure the security of such devices as well as the enterprise network they are participating in. It’s not uncommon to hear wisdom such as “if an attacker has physical access to a PC, you’ve lost the battle,” or, “if a Trojan makes it past the defenses, it’s all over.” As the use and exploitation of the Internet matures, so does its need for security. Last May, USA Today reported on the Jacobs family getting implanted with computer chips containing their medical record information. Message networks solutions firm Mirapoint has released security-orientated editions of its email products Message Server and Message Director. In the past several months, it has become painfully clear that C-level executives are getting tired of buying information security for its own purposes. Many organizations are now relying upon the vital support that vulnerability assessment can offer as the fourth pillar of security. The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) notes in its 2002 guidelines for the security of information systems and networks that the technology environment has undergone dramatic change over the last decade. As I write this article I note that Infosecurity Europe is currently conducting an online survey, asking participants to consider if they would download their list of contacts or competitive information, to take with them when they leave their current employment. One of the most noteworthy IT security developments of 2003 is the convergence between spamming and viral techniques, leading to a much more dangerous threat for email users. Mirapoint releases new editions of its Message Server and Message Director email and security appliances. Politically motivated "hackers" have been accused of tricking Amazon into sending a message "to possibly hundreds of thousands" of its customers about a controversial book, "Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict." The message was phrased in terms designed to irritate its recipients.

First there was Sniffer, Network Associates' traffic capture and analysis tool, which rapidly carved itself a position as the tool of choice for network engineers of all kinds. Then there was Sniffer Wireless, bringing the capabilities of the Sniffer engine to 802.11 wireless networks, a logical extension to the Sniffer brand which already supported a range of environments including LANs, remote networks and telecom networks. Now we have Sniffer Wireless PDA, porting that wireless analysis suite to a handheld platform, targeting network managers and security professionals with an overriding need for portability.

Last year we looked at the LapLink Gold solution, which has continued to improve over the years. This year is no exception. Now integrating three products into one to deliver LapLink Everywhere DELUXE, LapLink, Inc. is determined to improve remote access capabilities for the user without compromising on security.

With the first product in this suite you can access your PC from anywhere using a web browser to retrieve email, files or folders. LapLink Everywhere is a service that is provided for one year after purchase as a part of the LapLink Everywhere DELUXE suite.

A group hosted on a Korean website is claiming to have hacked hotel-chain heiress Paris Hilton’s address book. Scores of celebrities have had their private phone numbers posted on the web, including pop princess Avril Lavigne, tennis player Andy Roddick and nu-metal party-boy Fred Durst.

Yet again Cisco has churned out an over priced book for one of its courses and filled it out with acronyms and confusing explanations. Nice diagrams though.

This book is truly meaty stuff. It explains in detail what every hacker should know, but more importantly, what every security expert should be aware of so they can take action to avoid being hacked.  

An exciting book on authentication, of all things?
