2008-02-25 13:59:58 by Khalid Kark in Security & Risk Management
 
This article in GSN caught my attention on the proposed IT budget numbers released by OMB (Office of Management and Budgets). The 10% spending on cyber-security may seem surprising to some, especially when compared to an average 8% of IT spend in the commercial sector across North America and Europe.

I thought this was one of the most important and enlightening articles I have read in years. For me it crystallized up my own thoughts about what is going on in the crazy world we all live in.

2008-05-16 11:36:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
First, something hilarious: I was teaching this brief course on logs overseas and touched upon a subject of ISO17799. So, having recently read how many companies in the US were ISO17799 certified, I asked my audience whether they could guess what the number was.

Just How Vulnerable Is Asia To The Current US Sub-Prime Crisis?

2007-08-31 07:59:00 by Jomni in Risk Management Quant
 
If you ask Asian banks about their exposure to US Sub-Prime debt, they would probably say that the exposure is pretty small. In fact, Asian central banks also agree with this notion. Unlike some hedge funds with nearly 100% exposure to the sector, the percentage of exposure to US Sub-Prime trough CDO's are not significant enough to dent the...
