Great idea @klevkoff117! You should be in marketing! But seriously, I look forward to the day that strong security is a product differentiatior -- in finance and other industries..
In reply to: Re: Maybe the problem is too much flexibility
I think that this three-month review is thoughtfully very well, really. I think also like you that today's approach to cyber security is predominantly reactive and for the vast majority of organizations,...

I think a lot of that problem simply comes down to how institutions interact with the public. Most people I know really do care whether their bank account is safe or not - and would probably respond favorably if their bank...

@klevkoff117-- It's certainly not a new problem. And hats off to whoever figures out the right balance between user convenience and security .
In reply to: Re: Maybe the problem is too much flexibility

In reply to: I don't get the US Banks' mentality
Apple is also expected do something about the vulnerability that their Touch ID brings: Biometrics operated with a password in the OR/disjunction way (as in the case of iPhone) offers a lower security than when only...

You know air gaps aren't failsafe when the International Space Station gets infected by an astronaut's USB stick. ;) (As Kaspersky reported in late 2013.)
In reply to: Re: Infected conference materials
I remember, during a meeting with a manager at a client's bank, being stuck for a hard copy of a document that we needed. I asked if we could print it off of my personal USB stick. The banker was like, "Sure,...
