Heartbleed is a platform-independent problem that has exposed what is being called a two year old underlying weakness in the OpenSSL protocol. Major websites like Facebook and Tumblr have applied the necessary patches...
In reply to: Re: Obama Approved NSA’s use of Heartbleed for ‘National’ Interests
@haglt, not sure if Europe's data security are insane, but definitely odd. One reason to not use DropBox is that DropBox stores it's data on AWS, which is in the US. Which the UK can't use, because the US isn't on the list...

"Today's hottest startups –- companies like Dropbox, Uber, Pinterest, and Tumblr" These happen to be the same companies that have come a cropper with Heartbleed, whereas- at least this time around- MS's infrastructure...
In reply to: Unusual article
Nice article; maybe- just maybe- Heartbleed will wake people up that no form of IT is a magice bullet impervious to faults. We're lukcy this time in that we're primarily a Windows shop and have therefore bypassed OpenSSL,...

I find it hard to believe Johnrobie that security loses in a risk versus cost argument, but I suppose that given the survey's findings, it is entirely possible. Enterprises can design their own security awareness programs...
In reply to: Re: Security Awareness Training or lack of it
I agree with Chris Eng that hindsight is 20/20 and I doubt very much that presented with the very simple choice of performance over, in this case vulnerability, would have been chosen by the OpenSSL project. I think the...

Is your company forcing users to change their passwords in the wake of the heartbleed bug? If so, you're in the minority of respondents to Dark Reading's flash poll. We asked What steps do you plan to take in response...

Thanks for sharing those details about your experience with AD in cloud, BryanF287. To paraphrase Mark Twain, it would appear that the Death of Active Directory has been greatly exaggerated -- at least from your vantage...
In reply to: Re: Your experience integrating AD with cloud apps?
What has been your experience integrating AD successfully with your cloud apps? 100% of our employee cloud based apps are integrated with AD. What have been your biggest challenges? Getting security to approve...

As a consumer, i really like the idea of having a security rating on an apps in the app store. That's a very simple idea -- but agreeing on the rating system would be a challenge!
In reply to: Re: Changing consumer behavior on free apps
I do agree and it is why I think consumers share the smallest burden when it comes to protecting their privacy on mobile devices. As for developer incentives, that is a really tough problem. One angle could be to provide...
In reply to: Re: Changing consumer behavior on free apps
I would extend that notion to state that the C-suite must regard all of IT security as a vital part of their organization. If that is the case, then security becomes integrated in every aspect of the organization. Nothing...

Containing Corporate Data on Mobile Devices
If you’re still focused on securing endpoints, you’ve got your work cut out for you. WiFi network provider iPass surveyed 1,600 mobile workers and found that the average US employee carries three devices -- a smartphone, a computer, and a tablet or e-reader -- with more than 80% of them doing work on personal devices.
