Last week I wrote about my upcoming congressional testimony and wow - you guys are awesome! Seriously, the feedback there was absolutely sensational and it's helped shape what I'll be saying to the US Congress, including lifting specific wording and phrases provided by some of you. Thank you! As I explained in that first blog post, I'm required to submit a written testimony 48 hours in advance of the event.
A Turkish Airlines flight made an emergency landing because someone named his wireless network (presumably from his smartphone) "bomb on board.". In 2006, I wrote an essay titled " Refuse to be Terrorized." (I am also reminded of my 2007 essay, " The War on the Unexpected."

Last week, I was sitting next to a croc-infested river in the middle of nowhere (relatively speaking). This week, I'm in front of the United States Capital having just spoken to the very people who create the laws that govern not just the US but let's face it, have a significant impact on the rest of the world. Today was just one of those moments that make you go. whoa.
This is an interesting tactic, and there's a video of it being used: The theft took just one minute and the Mercedes car, stolen from the Elmdon area of Solihull on 24 September, has not been recovered. In the footage, one of the men can be seen waving a box in front of the victim's house. The device receives a signal from the key inside and transmits it to the second box next to the car.

Certifying the full compatibility of the Thales Vormetric Data Security Manager (DSM) with the VMware platform was a critical element in ensuring our mutual customers’ satisfaction. Traditionally, this certification has been a cumbersome, and sometimes expensive task, requiring equipment, time and resources. Now, with the rollout of VMware’s Cloud Certification Platform, those times are over.
The cell phones we carry with us constantly are the most perfect surveillance device ever invented, and our laws haven't caught up to that reality. That might change soon. This week, the Supreme Court will hear a case with profound implications on your security and privacy in the coming years. The Fourth Amendment's prohibition of unlawful search and seizure is a vital right that protects us all from police overreach, and the way the courts interpret it is increasingly nonsensical in our compute
Many software teams have migrated their testing and production workloads to the cloud, yet development environments often remain tied to outdated local setups, limiting efficiency and growth. This is where Coder comes in. In our 101 Coder webinar, you’ll explore how cloud-based development environments can unlock new levels of productivity. Discover how to transition from local setups to a secure, cloud-powered ecosystem with ease.
In the month of October, I wrote about reducing scope for PCI DSS. In this blog, I take it a step further with a discussion about the options available for securing data. Not all types of encryption give you the coverage and flexibility you need. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for protecting account data; every organization is different, faces different threats and has different security objectives that (ideally) go beyond PCI DSS compliance.
Uber was hacked, losing data on 57 million driver and rider accounts. The company kept it quiet for over a year. The details are particularly damning : The two hackers stole data about the company's riders and drivers -- including phone numbers, email addresses and names -- from a third-party server and then approached Uber and demanded $100,000 to delete their copy of the data, the employees said.
The bad news: Tuesday's missile test shows that North Korea's ICBM can likely hit the US. The slightly less bad news: It's still a long way off from actually doing so.

ZDNet is reporting about another data leak, this one from US Army's Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), which is also within to the NSA. The disk image, when unpacked and loaded, is a snapshot of a hard drive dating back to May 2013 from a Linux-based server that forms part of a cloud-based intelligence sharing system, known as Red Disk. The project, developed by INSCOM's Futures Directorate, was slated to complement the Army's so-called distributed common ground system (DCGS), a legacy
Further analysis of North Korea's latest ICBM launch shows that the country can likely land a nuclear weapon anywhere in the continental United States.
How many people would you trust with your house keys? Chances are, you have a handful of trusted friends and family members who have an emergency copy, but you definitely wouldn’t hand those out too freely. You have stuff that’s worth protecting—and the more people that have access to your belongings, the higher the odds that something will go missing.
A major bug in Apple’s macOS High Sierra gives anyone with physical access to a system running the latest version of the OS root access simply by putting "root" in the user name field.
By David Gurteen I've just spent a few days in Riyadh where I gave a talk and run a Knowledge Café as part of a KM Forum entitled "Knowledge Management Utilization in Realizing Saudi Vision 2030" organized by the Naseej Academy. Saudi Vision 2030 is a plan to reduce Saudi Arabia's dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and develop public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism.
In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.
