Is Cloud Computing Really Risk Transference?

The current buzz in the technology industry is all about this idea of Cloud Computing. It goes by many many names but we’ll just stick with this one to eliminate confusion. Sure, it’s a great idea and vendors are talking about “moving your data to the

Hello Baby!

Frantic in Dallas I’m back…after a long absence. The last 3 months or so have been crazy in my life. After my trip to London and Edinburgh in mid-September, I returned home patiently awaiting the delivery of our son in late-October. We went to the doctor

Big Bang Machine Hacked!

Well, apparently no one planned any information security with the super collider. I love the quote from this guy who is obviously not a security guy “ We don’t know who they were but there seems to be no harm done. ” Right. No harm done. We’re sorta sure.

Well, maybe I’ll get a great refund in in 2009

Apparently the IRS just realized that they had about 1,800 unauthorized web servers attached to their corporate network !!! Now I’m glad to hear that their CIO is working to get them removed, but sounds to me this is a great opportunity for them to implement

Part Three of Four as We Chat About Physical Security

UPDATE : I got your emails about there being a problem with this Silverlight video (thanks Doug!), so I re-rendered and have re-posted the video. Nothing stinks worse than having the movie go out in mid-series! OH YES! I actually had the privilege yesterday

The Security Show: Episode 3 “Gates, Guards and Guns”

More of my sitdown with Johnny Walker who helps run our Microsoft Global Security Operations Center. When we talk about physical security, as IT Pros, we’re typically talking about securing the datacenters and the boxes themselves. Johnny also has to

Back from vacation!

Sorry for the long delay, but I’ve been on vacation and my wife is pretty adamant about me not checking email, posting blog entries, etc. I don’t think I need a break, but apparently I was wrong, so I took about 8 days of vacation. Of course, there are

Microsoft to the Compliancy Rescue!

One of the things I do at every CSO Council, is to ask the security executives what their Top 3 issues are. (We learned a long time ago that you can't ask execs to nail it down to a single issue!) These are the top concerns they have around information

Books of the Month Club....I read a lot

Well, I'm sorry for the delay in posting, but I didn't get home until after 10:30PM on Friday night, but American Airlines did get me home and given the issues with the MD-80s recently, I'm just happy to have made it. Even got bumped to First Class which
