He was 49. Before he left his post as White House cyberspace security advisor last May, Howard Schmidt promised top federal officials that he would create a greater leadership role in the private sector on cybersecurity. CSOs and governance officers aren't the only ones studying up on compliance regulations.

Combined, these incidents stressed the possible impact a widespread outage could cause and prompted concerns about cybersecurity. Is WPA really the answer to the problem of insecure corporate wireless networks? Maybe, but as Rob Buckley discovers, it's not that simple The Business Software Alliance (BSA) has launched a website designed for reporting suspected internet auction fraud. A United States federal government agency didn’t need to point out the weaknesses of username and password authentication to E*Trade Financial’s CIO Greg Framke. He already knew that such an antiquated method for validating online banking customers falls short in today’s era of keyloggers and phishing scams. As if dealing with skyrocketing numbers of new vulnerabilities each day is not enough, the IT security world must now brace for a new challenge: an emerging underground vulnerability market that could result in more zero-day attacks.
