2007-10-05 13:27:00 by Allen Baranov, CISSP in Security Thoughts
 
I went to a Symantec presentation today to learn about their new End Point Protection and to take a sip of their Kool-Aid They took great pains to make sure that the audience was aware that they do not sell anti-virus software anymore - they sell "end point protection".

Woo hoo! It listed all these great new security...

2008-02-04 20:10:03 by Editor in Digg / Security
 
These happy characters are Peruvian anti-riot police, who are here seen parading in celebration of Peru's independence day yesterday. Yes, they are terrifying. This makes Peru the latest entry in a long list of countries I will try to avoid rioting in. I'm still all about rioting in Canada and Sweden, however
