Simplicity, speed, intelligence

Simplicity, speed, intelligence

Bruce Lee, the King of Kung Fu, had it right when he said that simplicity is the key to brilliance. That is, protecting yourself from a gang of sword-toting attackers might be enormously difficult, but it should never be made complicated. Wise words the IT security industry would do well to heed.

Knowing how to react is everything

Knowing how to react is everything

I have always emphasised the importance of visibility and forward thinking in enterprise security. However, in my experience, incident management is the most important, yet least well-executed, skill in all organisations.

The too long arm of the law

The UK’s main law against IT criminals, the Computer Misuse Act, is 16 years old this year. The Act has received plenty of criticism, and led to only a few prosecutions, but recent interpretations and proposed changes are worrying.

Talk is cheap: learn to use it carefully

Talk is cheap: learn to use it carefully

It can be hard to separate facts from hype in the infosec business. Talk to one source and ID theft is a major concern that should have every right-thinking citizen reaching for the shredder. Everything from the latest utility bill to an invitation to tea is turned to dust.

Security on the shop floor

Security on the shop floor

Review: WiSentry

Review: WiSentry

One of the biggest threats a company can face is unauthorised access points being added to its network. These can often go undetected, but open a gaping hole in your company’s defences. WiSentry is designed to detect and monitor for these events and warn you as soon as they happen.
