MSSP and NAC - true love or lust?

2008-05-22 10:51:56 by HASH0x8b2d488 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...True Love For the most part I agree with Grant that NAC is a natural for the managed services space.

They have grown from managed firewall to managed...

Innovators, Imitators and Idiots

2008-10-07 08:32:33 by Gunnar Peterson in 1 Raindrop
 
...true of an Internet stock. But it's true of a home. And when somebody makes it very easy for you to do it by saying you don't really have to put up my money, you can lie about your income a little, or we'll give you 100 percent mortgage, you're going to do it, because everybody that's done it has been proven right. You have what they call...

The Seven Habits of Highly Ineffective Terrorists

2008-10-07 05:48:53 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...true for members of terrorist groups as diverse as the IRA and al-Qaida For example, several of the 9/11 hijackers planned to fight in Chechnya, but they didn't have the right paperwork so they attacked America instead. The mujahedeen had no idea whom they would attack after the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan, so they sat around until they...

Review of My 2007 Security Predictions: Too Wimpy

2007-12-23 15:46:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
...true ( here , here , here ), but not to the extent I suspected. Some of the walking dead are still, well, walking. And no less dead :-( In 2008 PIV. Risk management: a confusion about what is "risk management" will not subside this year. Business risk? Information risk? Risk as threat x vulnerability x asset? Risk as probability of loss?...

My 2008 Security Predictions!

2008-01-09 15:42:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
...true for those browser-hacking folks who "need" to earn some cash off phishing and other data theft. Thus, "0day use" will no longer constitute news Hacking, data theft, etc Loss of trust towards legitimate Internet sites = yes . This is manifested by things like this point by the WS guys - more 0wned than malicious sites are used to spread...

Third Parties Controlling Information

2008-02-27 05:46:46 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...true today; I don't think I could write without so much information so easily accessible. But it's a pretty damned unreliable hard drive The internet is my hard drive, but only if my needs are immediate and my requirements can be satisfied inexactly. It was easy for me to search for information about the MySpace photo hack. And it will be...

The Ethics of Vulnerability Research

2008-05-14 11:29:45 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...true in the 1960s when buffer overflows were first exploited to attack computers. It was true in 1988 when the Morris worm exploited a Unix vulnerability to attack computers on the Internet, and it's still how most modern malware works Vulnerabilities are software mistakes--mistakes in specification and design, but mostly mistakes in...

Iowa DNR loses personal information on 7,000

2007-12-19 14:22:00 by Evan Francen in The Breach Blog
...true? Ugh, outdated regulation and bureaucracy He said it is unlikely that people could access the records even if they had the flash drive. That's because the file was a backup copy that would have to be restored, meaning the user would need the same program used to create the file - a program that isn't on many home or office computers....
