The CSIRO has developed a prototype portable device aimed at minimising the risk associated with performing transactions in untrusted and unknown computing environments. The open-source maker of the Firefox browser is creating a publicly available metrics model to measure the relative security of their products. Notorious hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc) has released a web auditing tool which uses Google to find vulnerabilities on sites.. Software mashups will increasingly be used to develop commercial products, but securing the transactions will require new ways of identifying and managing the risks. As the malware threat landscape continues to evolve, hackers are constantly changing techniques to counteract detection technologies vendors develop. Microsoft announced on Tuesday that it will issue an emergency fix on Wednesday for a dangerous zero-day vulnerability in Internet Explorer. Even faced with tough budget times, there is still an opportunity, says one CISO. The latest VB100 malware test from Virus Bulletin has proved good news for security vendors, all but two of which passed the latest edition of the noted antivirus test. The Australian Computer Society (ACS) has formed an E-Security Task Force, with the aim of taking a leadership role in the development of policy proposals for e-security and ISP filtering. Identity theft has become a multi-billion dollar issue that continues to accelerate, and protecting against it has become a multi-million dollar business, says Deloitte's Mark Steinhoff. Operating systems are inherently insecure and will remain that way in the future, according to Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Russian-based security vendor Kaspersky Lab.
The anonymity and universal access of cyberspace makes cybercrime attractive and easy. German researchers have found a way to decrypt packets from a WPA-protected network. Adobe has pushed out a new version of Flash Player 9 to shore up six vulnerabilities. Companies are struggling to come to grips with the basics of vulnerability management, says Chris Schwartzbauer, vice president of development and customer operations at Shavlik Technologies. As it turns out, Microsoft's emergency fix plugs a previously unknown Windows vulnerability that was being exploited in limited attacks. Over fifty percent of our readers believe identity theft is a big issue and requires further industry discussion, according to the results of SC Magazine’s Online Reader Survey. Data will continue to be the primary motive for future cybercrime, according to a 2009 forecast from researchers at Georgia Tech. With new PCI DSS mandates going into effect, web application security will get even hotter. For all the hype about the relative security of the two most popular browsers, is Firefox really any more secure than Internet Explorer? For that matter, is it even possible, as a British company with a “zero-footprint” browser claims, to develop a truly secure browser?
