Editorial: Keeping up with the world we live in

Sometimes, events conspire to focus the mind. The happenings of the past month fall into this category. It started when Dell and Apple were forced into an expensive recall of millions of laptop batteries after the evidence that they were liable to cause fires became overwhelming.

Opinion: From the CSO's desk - Think before you hit the send

One of the "advantages" of being the head of a security team for a major company is that my email account is an easy first port of call for security product vendors to introduce themselves. Over the past couple of years, I have seen this means of communication grow exponentially.

After the better part of ten years, Microsoft has at last announced that Windows 98 is no longer supported. As the company's least secure operating system, you might think that most people would be grateful to see the back of it.

Review: Identity Manager 3

Review: Identity Manager 3

Novell have been around since the very early 1980s and will be associated by many with NetWare and, more latterly, their work in the open source area. With offices around the world, the company is active in many technology areas, including consultancy. It is therefore well placed to understand the eccentricities of network access control, corporate directories, provisioning and such like.

Review: Enterprise Security Analyzer

Review: Enterprise Security Analyzer

Although this program is simple to use, we found it took a little time to work with set-up and configuration. Set-up is guided by the main set-up wizard, which guides the user through installation and a bit of initial configuration. Once the main install is completed, there are follow-up steps of creating SSL certificates for IIS and possibly many other loose ends, depending on the environment.

Review: NetIQ Security Manager

Review: NetIQ Security Manager

In our experience, the implementation of this product is no walk in the park. The Security Manager is a small part of a much larger complete security solution by NetIQ. Deployment of this product is massive, with dozens of pre-install steps to be completed on each of the different machines necessary for full deployment. This includes configuration of a database server, a log database computer and a central computer.

Industry Views: Wireless, compliance two drivers of strong investment in IT security

Security remains a key growth area for venture capital investment and shows no sign of slowing down. Although the IPO market may be weak (as it is for nearly all categories of venture investment), mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are on the rise. And many new security companies are being created. Think about these compelling statistics:
