Matt Asay again shows that he doesn't know much about open source security

2008-05-15 22:43:17 by HASH0x8b563c4 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...information that flows through it (Up-to-date vulnerability information, for example) is not". Matt, NASL scripts are scripts. I would think the word scripts in the name would be a dead give away. Don't you think that implies some code Yes, you can "drill your own wells" as Matt says and write your own NASL scripts. We do it at StillSecure...

...information. It was supposed to be about protecting the data, not about checking off the compliance box! I agree with Rich that it has become a way into the C-level office. But what is so bad about that? Symantec has been selling their security into the CFO for years. Rich not having worked at a vendor, I don't know if you realize how hard it...

IPS - is it soup yet? Mike Chapple says yes and no

2008-05-13 20:25:13 by HASH0x84725a8 in StillSecure, After All These Years
...Security has a good article up on whether IPS are mature enough for enterprises to deploy. Some may say that Mike has been asleep at the wheel, because certainly there have been plenty of IPS appliances sold over the last 3 to 4 years. Mike comes to the same conclusion I did almost 2 years ago in this article . Namely that the selling and...

HP buying EDS- Offensive to IBM or defensive to Indian firms?

2008-05-12 20:40:45 by HASH0x8b19e28 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
Saw the big news today about HP maybe buying EDS in a deal rumored to be in the 12 to 13 billion dollar range. That is a fat 35%+ premium over what it was trading at before rumors of the deal were announced. Most of the commentary I have seen positions this deal as HP making a move to better compete with IBM. While I agree that is certainly an...

Its Mothers Day, be thankful you have a mom to call - so do it.

2008-05-11 14:47:04 by HASH0x84710fc in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
Mothers Day is always a tough one for me. My mom passed away 25 years ago and though time has passed to cover up a never healed wound, every Mothers Day the scab is torn off a bit and the regret and pain ooze through. Having our kids celebrate Mothers Day with my wife has made it better, but nothing takes the place of your own Mom. Fred Wilson...

Swingtown - This ain't your mother's CBS

2008-05-10 22:52:08 by HASH0x8b4a544 in StillSecure, After All These Years
I was reading a review in the NY Times today about a new summer time show coming to CBS. It is called Swingtown and I was originally attracted to it because it is a look back at the mid 70's. That was the age of my adolescence, so it naturally attracted me. Well this show is about the mid-70's OK, but the wilder side. It is set in a suburb of...

...security vendors things that deal with security. So it seems to be what Citrix CTO, Simon Crosby is saying in this audio interview on Search Security with Rob Westervelt. I was all set to write an article on the operationalization of security and all when I noticed that virtuoso of virtual security, Hoff beat me to the punch with his call of...

Its about the kids, stupid

2008-05-08 15:52:44 by HASH0x8b658bc in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
Matt Asay has a blog up on " OLPC's capitulation to Windows...". In it Matt waxes poetic about what a mistake Nicholas Negroponte is making by embracing Windows for the OLPC laptop project. Matt points to Groklaw, Richard Stallman and the rest of the Redmond revolutionaries who want to see Negroponte tarred and feathered and question his vision....
