Security Products: Suites vs. Best-of-Breed

2008-03-10 06:33:16 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
We know what we don't like about buying consolidated product suites: one great product and a bunch of mediocre ones. And we know what we don't like about buying best-of-breed: multiple vendors, multiple interfaces, and multiple products that don't work well together. The security industry has gone back and forth between the two, as a new...

I just have to start with this quote from Rich Mogul : "... Legions of armchair futurists slobber over their keyboards, spilling obvious dribble that they either predict every year until it finally happens or is so nebulous that they claim success if a butterfly flaps its wings in Liechtenstein." :-) Amen to that, Rich. Onwards to my 2008...

Sun acquires Vauu

2007-11-14 08:25:51 by Andras Cser in Security & Risk Management
 
Compliance requirements of large enterprise customers are too complex to satisfy with organically grown role management software. As a result, it appears that the role management acquisition storm is starting.

2008-05-29 01:00:00 by Bruce Schneier in Wired Security
 
Aren't fax signatures the weirdest thing? It's trivial to cut and paste -- with real scissors and glue -- anyone's signature onto a document so that it'll look real when faxed. There is so little security in fax signatures that it's mind-boggling that anyone accepts them Yet people do, all the time. I've signed book contracts, credit card...
