  1. Looking for easy to use strong crypto libs for iPhone ... no luck so far!
  2. No offense to Dubliners but I'll take a Murphy's or even better a Beamish any day
  3. for a change security is top-of-mind for biz considering cloud computing: http://is.gd/1lFHb 59% say vendors inadequately address security
  4. Q's to ask re. cloud computing & appsec: where/how is data stored? where/how is data backed up? how are apps cert'd for compliance?
  5. http://is.gd/ItEA "Free Software Will Kill MS." No way. how. MS wants people to pay for OS and that PO's some % of peeps, period.
  6. recently, ex-MS guy says "Free Software Will Kill MS." BS!!! If MS opened Windows 10yr ago hackers would have creamed it anyhow.
  7. Investigating security "features" of new iphone - so far so good. Phone is hackers delight!
  8. In DC w public access Govt org helping secure systems from attack. "Public access" doesn't imply segmented systems or non-sensitive data.
  9. Infosec officer @ ABN Amro says high value from vendor that gives known vulns with scan or pen test cuz must justify $ spend to mgt 4 patch
  10. Just in Amsterdam. Pay by phone everywhere! But handheld security still weak. Steal a phone, steal 5 accounts.
  11. @drinfosec I agree 100% -- trusted stack needed with h/w and s/w!
  12. @jackphillips interesting to see Sophos stepping up, Jack. Any other major changes in vendor profile/visibility (up or down)?
  13. Connected at 54Mbps whilst 35,000 feet in sky on Virgin America - brilliant! Contemplating security test of the auth system ;-)
  14. my blog entry on effectiveness of security spend (lack thereof, actually) http://is.gd/sKWq
  15. More security spend yet more security breaches: http://is.gd/sKv8 It's not how much you spend, but HOW you spend it... and where!
  16. So many access points to critical data (cell phone, home pc, gaming, etc.) with convenience (eg stored pwds) winning over security.
  17. RT @joltsik: Nice blog entry on complexity of IT security and need for process: http://tinyurl.com/c8x48u
  18. Companies moving from instructor-led training to CBT? Looking for trends.
  19. now testing Twhirl (http://www.twhirl.org/)... very nice. Thanks, Jeff!
  20. Testing TwitterBerry. Guess the damn thing works - cool!
