Gift of Malware: Who’s to Blame?

Monday, May 21, 2012 at 10:50am by Kim Singletary

I was talking to a healthcare organization recently that was in utter disappointment over their new CAT scan machine. When deployed, the machine was already infected with malware, and the bug spread to other systems in the organization. Pre-installed malware is never something you expect to deal with in a new machine, but it can Read more…

Ecuador: Oil, Bananas, Gold and PCI DSS

Monday, May 21, 2012 at 10:11am by Brian Contos

I spent a few days in Quito, Ecuador this week after visiting Panama. This is another emerging market with a strong focus on government, financial services, and telecom. Additionally, Ecuador has a very robust oil industry. The organizations responsible for petroleum are actually run by their government. This is a common occurrence in emerging markets. Read more…

No Sleep for Security – McAfee ePO and Intel vPro

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 8:00am by Ed Metcalf

You are not scanning your enterprise for malware often enough. Nobody is. Informal polls of customers and security professionals show that “Wednesday at noon” is the typical schedule for a full virus scan. The explanation for this timing boils down to “people are usually in the office on Wednesday and eating lunch around noon.” Some Read more…

NACACS 2012: Information Warfare, Emerging Markets, and…Did I Mention Humidity?

Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 2:15pm by Brian Contos

I just returned from speaking in Orlando, Florida – humidity, Mickey Mouse, and… did I mention humidity? I was there this week for the ISACA North America CACS Conference, presenting on information warfare, or more simply, nation-state attacks. I’ve spoken at around two dozen ISACA events over the last few years, and this year’s was one Read more…

Technology, Talent, Techniques: 3 Steps in Addressing Insider Threats

Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 11:34am by Brian Contos

This week I found myself in Memphis, Tennessee. Home of great music and BBQ – as you can see from the photo below. But this trip was not all pork shoulder and blues bands. I was speaking at the United States Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Information Assurance and HIPAA Summit. My talk was on data Read more…

Join @McAfeeBusiness and @XeroxCorp 5/17 for a Special Edition #SecChat: Embedded Device Security

Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 9:14am by Brian Contos

Embedded devices, whether they’re in cars, printers or refrigerators, are all connected to networks – networks that can, and likely will, be compromised. This threat has been a point of discussion in the industry for some time, but not all organizations have been quick to respond. Especially when it comes to formerly static devices like Read more…

Using Big Data for Security Intelligence – Recognize Slithering in Cyberspace (Part 2)

Monday, May 7, 2012 at 1:42pm by Kim Singletary

In my previous post in this series, I looked at security considerations when enabling Big Data for your business. In collecting, accessing and providing parallel analytics across multiple data sets, you may be inadvertently opening the door to malware or a ‘snake in the grass’. It’s possible that the data you are correlating is something Read more…

The advantages of cloud computing – new levels of cost efficiency, rapid deployment and self-service are much talked about. Yet, while cloud computing remains a top executive priority, security factors are inhibiting broadscale adoption.

April #SecChat Recap: Data Center Security and the Cloud

Tuesday, May 1, 2012 at 11:38am by Evelyn de Souza

We kicked off our April #SecChat discussion by asking what security factors our community believed were inhibiting organizations from adopting cloud for the data center. The topic of control was quickly touched upon, as @LabNuke pointed out that access control is a key concern, and @KentMcGovern mentioned a loss of direct control over the environment. Read more…
