One of the major themes that will stand out at RSA next week revolves around the trend I’ve been following closely over the last several months: the evolution of security centered on a data-driven approach.  There will be many opportunities for you to learn and benefit from this trend that is having an impact on [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day, etc.  But enough chitchat. Herewith a short compendium of some of the articles and blogs about data-driven security I’ve been mentioning or have otherwise referenced recently – thought it would be worthwhile to pull these together into a single post. I’ll add to this list in future updates. We’ll begin with the [...]

Another report of a breach at a technology vendor much of the industry depends upon for security and trust; this time, Verisign. The most immediate concern about this incident was that the attacks in question occurred in 2010, and were not widely known until Reuters discovered the disclosure in the company’s reporting as required to [...]

There’s no question that the intersections of Big Data and security have grabbed a lot of attention in the year-plus since I’ve been blogging on this topic. Indeed, it seems that Big Data will be one of the major focus areas at the RSA Conference a month hence: I count at least three sessions and [...]

Some recent examples: Tripwire NetIQ LANdesk In these cases, security is either an [...]

As is well known by now, Charlie Miller, well known for his research of the security of Apple products, has been evicted from the Apple developer program for violating the terms of the developer agreement, according to an Apple email (reproduced in this CNET article). The prevailing opinions on this matter seem to gravitate toward [...]

Last week, I had the opportunity to spend a few days with a truly interesting and diverse group of practitioners, who I think are on to the future of information security. It will come as no surprise to anyone who follows this blog that I believe that future is centered on the ability to do [...]

With the acquisitions of Q1Labs and NitroSecurity last week, the industry’s attention has been drawn anew to the value of security information and event management (SIEM). In the enterprise, SIEM is often the focus of security operations, collecting data from a variety of point products, management and monitoring systems. But as I wrote on Tuesday, [...]

We often talk about our world, the world of technology, as the business it is. Money to be made, fortunes won and lost, empires large and small that rise with spectacular swiftness – and often fall just as fast. But what often gets lost in all the chatter about the business of technology is what [...]
