As an IT Auditor who worked with one of the big five (before they became the big four) global audit firms, I can only suggest that our definitions of assurance are vastly different. Arthur Andersen certainly found it out...
In reply to: Re: But assurance equals accountability equals liability.
I wrote a nice tool to generate these labels automatically. If anyone is interested in making an open-source tool out of it, I'd be happy to share.

It is an embarrassing situation. The level of security offered to the customers is very poor. In many cases pos systems are common windows based machine with a few defense systems that in many cases are not sufficient...

Perfect analogy, and exactly my point summed up fantastically!

I imagine it would be almost impossible for the ISP's to track down these compromised hosts. The ports and traffic generated by the compromised machines is not overly odd when compared to the traffic of legitimate...

@Ryan to answer yoru questions for lastpass at least; I can't speak to other password managers. It does act as a single sign on but I still have to manually log into my password manager and click the button to sign into...

I really like your analogy comparing software assurance to a supply chain for software. I don't think it's too much to ask that we hold software to the same standard: that the components that go into developing bsiness...

Great points Corey! I don't see anything wrong with security by obscurity when used in conjunction with a secure system. By making your systems appear to be smaller targets you are essentially eliminating...

Ditto on your questions, Ryan. I know people who swear by password managers, but I wonder if it is as simple and easy to manager as people say...
In reply to: Re: RoboForm Password Manager
While this sounds like a heavy handed action from Microsoft, it is in line with it's previous policy regarding major updates/service packs. In the past, such as with Windows XP, when a service pack is released all...

Do the cable Internet and DSL providers do anything to detect home networks that have become spambot nodes? I'd think they'd have some responsibility, as well as potentially a concern related to wasted bandwidth.

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.
