Budget reductions unlikely, claims VeriSign. Australia’s Privacy Commissioner Karen Curtis has warned local government agencies and businesses to adhere closely to the Privacy Act in order to avoid a disastrous UK style data breach. 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. Scientists may have found a new way to combat random scanning internet worms such as the notorious Code Red and SQL Slammer infections.
The serial company founder and SC's CEO of the Year tells Paul Fisher why he knew all along that data-centric security was the future. The information security sector faces a mixed financial picture in 2008 with the pattern of M&A continuing but IPO activity less certain. That was the verdict of two leading financial analysts at the RSA Conference on Tuesday. Ill-conceived or poorly implemented IT security regimes could leave enterprises struggling to survive within the restrictive confines of an information "police state", experts have warned.
SurfControl's CEO may be a relative newcomer to the infosec world, but she is already pursuing an aggressive growth policy for the security vendor, Paul Fisher reports. What do you like the most about your job? The changing demands in security. Never the same problem twice. I have never had two days the same. With the recent announcement that EMC will be buying RSA Security, it is clear that the consolidation wave is rolling through the identity authentication and management space. This wave probably began in December of 2005 when RSA bought Cyota, but while that deal could be viewed as a one-off acquisition of a private company by a much larger public company, this $2 billion acquisition signals the start of real changes to come. When bad things happen to good networks — and no enterprise is completely immune from attacks on its IT infrastructure anymore — how the good guys fight back can make or break the company’s ability to survive the threat. There is no denying the IT security market is alive and well. Depending on who you ask, between 400 and 1,500 security companies are in business worldwide, offering solutions ranging from anti-virus software to network access control appliances to consulting services. This, of course, should come as no surprise — especially when one considers enterprises are spending more money than ever before to meet compliance requirements and to defend against sophisticated and targeted attacks that could lead to embarrassing, costly breaches. Ahhhhh, the internet. We are hooked, and we better be prepared for the consequences. Real dollars are being lost, identities are being stolen, botnets are running rampant, consumer ATM cards are being compromised, spam is jamming our inboxes, the press is reporting stories that contribute to consumer cyber fears, and mankind again finds itself waging a protracted war — this time against internet insecurity. Teams from Sana Security have discovered a difficult-to-detect trojan designed to steal passwords previously used on infected machines. Compliance issues and identity theft incidents may have dominated 2005, but other problems will unfold over coming months. What do hidden files on CDs, new outlets for malware, an increasingly popular internet scheme, two new Windows vulnerabilities and a destructive worm have in common? They all either happened or were brought to light in the final three months of 2005. IT security has long been the focus of corporate attention, while storage security has been — perhaps unnoticeably — absent from the limelight. So it perhaps comes as a surprise to find that the data held in storage environments is frequently left vulnerable, simply because security in this area is so often overlooked. Using the information supplied through your IDS and IPS in the right way could dramatically improve your incident response plans, discovers Jim Carr Storage area networks and network-attached storage are all very well, but how do you secure them properly? And does anyone care, wonders James Middleton
