Security on the shop floor
Network security has always been an important consideration in office environments but it has been largely overlooked in manufacturing. But as the shop floor has become increasingly linked to the back office and with the expansion of industrial Ethernet, production managers are now taking network security more seriously.

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.

It’s time for us all to raise our game
IT, and IT security in particular, are at an interesting crossroads, and due for a lot of changes over the next few years. If we are honest, the IT industry has an appalling record, and is littered with projects that have failed to complete or to meet requirements. The public sector especially has a shameful track record, with practically every Government department with its own horror story to tell.

Matt Watchinski, Vulnerability researcher, Sourcefire
I’ve been penetration testing since I was about 15 years-old. I got interested in these things in the days of bulletin boards and the 1,200 baud modem when you had to figure out things for yourself or talk to others on the boards.
