Review: Juzt-Guard
There is a saying that Alaska is what America used to be and in a way this product from Anchorage-based software firm Juzt-Reboot Technology is a bit like what software used to be. Opening up the package reveals a parallel port dongle and installation had an old-fashioned look to it.

Our archaic law leaves an open door for cybercrime
Think what the world of IT was like in 1990. A few lucky researchers, military personnel, government workers and assorted hangers-on would have been able to enjoy the novelty of fledgling email and internet services. If you were a forward-thinking large corporate, you might well have a mainframe or a minicomputer network storing and processing crucial data and, although dial-up modems could connect systems to each other and enable remote terminal access, viruses and hack-attacks were minor worries. The occasional infected floppy disc might contain some malware that could potentially compromise the contents of your expensive 40mb hard drive, but a relatively up-to-date antivirus programme would probably protect you. Hackers and virus writers were mostly a minority sub-culture of cyber-kids operating from their bedrooms bragging and swapping war stories on underground bulletin boards.

Yes, Microsoft has released another list of critical vulnerabilities that leading security gurus say companies would do well to patch against immediately. And sure, some security experts and consumers are miffed at Internet Security Systems for reportedly being selfish with their patches

Industry changes show at Infosec and Awards
April held this year’s Infosecurity Europe show with the usual array of security firms touting their wares and hosting discussions. Most exhibitors displayed new products and many were looking markedly happier than last year, when IT spending was in the doldrums and security spending was struggling to hold its head above water. Also interesting was the conference track (despite some spectacularly badly-designed rooms)
