RSA Impressions - 3: CTO Panel

2008-04-09 10:21:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
...darn scary! I guess it would be the "New Wild West I am also happy that somebody brought up 'everything that needs to be invented is already invented in security' and then dispelled this ugly and idiotic myth Another fun one mentioned is a change from "security of bad/good" to "security of flowing risk scale." It sounds deceptively simply,...

...darn many log messages (seriously, 100,000 each second is a lot of log - but there is more at large companies!), and, which is worse, a lot of them are of unknown value to the users (might be useful, might not - but you never know in advance); thus, log clutter networks, systems and brains of security/system analysts Log diversity - logs all...

I Should Really Not Touch This ....

2008-01-15 23:50:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
...darn it! - how can I miss a potential blog fight related to log management So, it seems like Raffy baited some poor folks from Prism with his post on "IT search " (what an abomination of a term!). But, seriously, "IT search" is a marketing term (nothing wrong with that, BTW!), so it will mean whatever the folks who coined feel at any given...

...darn peculiar security implications ... especially this part of the Stratfor piece : "Chinese business ethics, however, are built on the basis of guanxi, which places relationships above other considerations, including an employers code of conduct and even the law. The idea that taking a job with a company, particularly a non-Chinese company,...

2008-02-01 15:46:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
...Darn it, but same as during the last many, many months, the "fallout" from being featured on a high-profile programming site continues to drive loads of traffic. The topic that got such a huge boost was anti-virus efficiency. Thus, these posts with same theme of anti-virus efficiency were the most popular: Answer to My Antivirus Mystery...

C, I .... Hey!!! Where is my 'A'???

2008-02-03 15:28:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
...darn it Security team usually does not own the 'A' - IT does. If you think "IT availability" equals "DoS defense", your view is painfully narrow It sucks that some folks chose 'A' over 'C-I-A', but they do It often takes some effort to explain why people need to care about 'C' and 'I' (no matter how painfully obvious it is for security...
