Mobile Skullduggery Afoot

Mobile Skullduggery Afoot

Like a moth emerging from its cocoon, the original mobile phone worm Cabir has evolved from proof-of-concept program to an altogether more harmful and fast-spreading variant in just six months. The most recent step is the posting of the original source code on the internet by the virus authoring group 29a, which could lead to a host of other harmful versions being developed and unleashed.

Review: Aladdin eToken SSO

Review: Aladdin eToken SSO

Aladdin's eToken SSO solution is based on the use of USB tokens upon which information is stored, including user data, application profiles and, if you wish, other certificates. This makes for a particularly intuitive operation as, once everything is set up, you just plug in your token and enter your password once. And when you have finished, simply remove the token.

Review: GemSafe Logon

Review: GemSafe Logon

GemSafe Logon is intended for the individual computer. It is self-contained, but with an administrative twist. Access policies are set up centrally by an administrator who creates a configuration file for the individual smartcards and distributes it to users. This is practical for smaller installations but perhaps not for large, distributed enterprises.

Review: Authenex ASAS

Review: Authenex ASAS

The Authenex ASAS system is a very robust system designed for large companies. It requires a standalone server running Windows 2000 with SP4 or Windows 2003. It must also have a Radius or SQL server on the system to allow for use of the integrated database of A-Key tokens supplied with the system.

Review: ActivCard Secure Remote Access Solution

ActivCard AAA Server has been designed for industrial or large-scale implementation. Its separate administrative console allows for delegation of multiple administrator roles if the situation calls for it. Installation of the software only requires a system large enough to hold Windows Server 2003 running as a Domain Controller.

When Smart Phones meet Smart Attacks

When Smart Phones meet Smart Attacks

The scene is set in a dark and gothic basement, somewhere in Russia apparently. Amid the clicking of a keyboard the following chilling statement of intent can be heard; “Let’s see what an application that simultaneously opens up 1000 windows does to a smartphone today, da? Mwahahaha, er, ha!” (Cue bolt of lightning).

The Key to Compliance

The Key to Compliance

In the wake of the Enron and Worldcom accounting scandals, the regulations an enterprise implements to ensure its integrity are open to increasing scrutiny. This has given rise to a growing number of initiatives such as Basel II, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the new Companies Act, all designed to ensure that high-standards of corporate governance become part of day-to-day business culture.

Time for a Sophisticated Approach to Security

As a new year begins, we aspire to achieve more and worker harder. Those with more sinister agendas are no exception, namely - spammers and virus writers -and 2005 will see these people become more shrewd, more malicious, more sophisticated and more hungry for commercial gain.
