IT security vendors' sole purpose is to generate revenue -- not offer complete security -- and they will only create solutions to stop dangerous threats when they are incentivised to do so, the principal security strategist for IBM Internet Security Systems said Wednesday at Interop in Las Vegas. The RSA conference in April marked one year almost to the day since Dave DeWalt left EMC and took over the reins as CEO of McAfee. Privacy commissioner Karen Curtis has urged businesses to consider the privacy of consumers when collecting personal information under the Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF), amendments which came into effect yesterday. Male. Between 30 and 50 years old. Residing in California, Texas, Florida or New York. That's the most likely profile for a 2006 victim of web-based crime, according to a report from the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center. The opportunities afforded by the use of RFID tags are multiplying quickly, but experts are still advising organizations to be mindful of the security and legal implications surrounding this relatively new technology. If the online marketplace were a family, 1-800-flowers.com could be considered a patriarch. In 1992, the flower distribution business joined AOL as the internet service provider's first merchant. Three years later, the company added a ".com" to its name and became one of the web's earliest and most recognizable success stories. Hackers could launch DoS attacks against telephone systems, new research has revealed. As part of the recent Infosecurity Europe 2006 Conference in London, a Hackers’ Panel included the likes of Gary McKinnon — also known as Solo, who could be extradited from the U.K. to the U.S. for allegedly hacking into various military and NASA systems. A less covered session, however, hit upon a problem that has existed for ages but that seems to still get short shrift in enterprises today: insider threats. Health insurance provider Aetna is continuing its investigation into the theft of an employee’s laptop that contained the personal data of about 38,000 members, the company said in a statement. On the heels of last week's discovery of the first two worms designed to infect Mac OS X platforms, a new vulnerability surfaced today. When truth is stranger than fiction — as it often is in enterprise IT departments — managing technology assets securely can require a powerful imagination. Indeed, how IT departments cope with issues such as the obsoleting of hard drives and eliminating so-called “double-campers ” from their resources might well determine whether or not they can claim their IT assets are truly secure. Smaller enterprises, companies with about 500 or fewer employees, have little of the luxuries that their larger counterparts boast. Although short on staff, resources and funding, they face the same types of information security threats as do mid-sized and large companies. When we turn our minds to matters of e-security, our first thoughts tend to be about defenses such as firewalls and intrusion detection. And rightly so. After all, there is much wisdom in the pursuit of prevention before cure. But, what happens when our defenses are breached? How should we respond to such an incident? Andrew Wilson explains why fancy intrusion detection technology is worth little if it is not supported by sound, mindful business decisions If disaster strikes, the first impulse is to get systems up and running again. But as Illena Armstrong discovers, that could be a bad move Recent news events have highlighted individuals actively engaged in criminal pursuits using false identities to disguise themselves and conceal their unlawful acts. Almost every day we hear in the news about allegations centered on communications privacy being violated either by employers or law enforcement agencies. Good old reliable time, not the Internet kind, does some flying. What are the technologies to secure IT in 2003? Illena Armstrong asks security experts for their views When computer forensics is an essential component of an internal investigation, lack of familiarity with the legal and technical issues involved can prompt management to assign that component to its management information security staff.
