Is it Safe in the Clear?Ahh, encryption. There are few security-related topics that manage to combine complexity, minutiae, and critical needs quite as thoroughly as does encryption. Government agencies simultaneously require and fear encryption, an attitude that is also common among business leaders. Ultimately, there are plenty of reasons to encrypt data (does stolen personal data ring a bell?) and very few reasons to fear it. While relatively few of us might ultimately be the ones implementing encryption, it's ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Open Source SecurityOpen Source software tends to be one of those religious topics, where people have strong opinions and feelings that are informed by more than simple facts. It's the kind of topic that is fun to cover because it often brings far more reader and listener response than other, less emotionally-charged areas. In this podcast we wade in with both feet, talking with Mike Ferris, Redhat's Director of Solutions Strategy. He had some interesting things to say, and you can hear them here.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
It's a Mal, Mal WorldLife used to be so simple. The golden days when a simple virus was all you had to worry about seem almost idyllic compared to the mean electronic streets that we walk today. I recently spoke with Shane Coursen, a senior technology consultant at Kaspersky Labs, about the once and future world of malware.

A Simple MessageI don't know about you, but I don't think I could work successfully without instant messaging. In an average day, I instant message with colleagues, contractors, vendors, and contacts throughout the industry. I'm not alone--survey after survey shows that employees are hooked on instant messaging as a way to keep in touch. From a security standpoint, of course, instant messaging comes with a pile of caveats. The open feeling that makes instant messaging so useful also makes it a huge securit ...

I Hear You Knockin', But You Can't Come InWho gets in? Who's kept out? Those are the twin questions that frame network security. In this podcast I talk with Brett Helsell of Lockdown Networks about network access control--not the program put forward by Cisco (though we touch on that), but the very idea of controlling who comes into your network. You can hear the podcast here.
We're coming up on the end of the year, and I'd like to do a "Most Important Events in Security for 2005" podcast to wrap things up, and the time grows very ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
From the Inside Looking Out--and InThe glamour in security is all about keeping the bad guys out. Statistically, though, more damage is wrought by supposed "good guys" whittling away at your network and data from the inside. In this Security Channel Podcast, David Lynch of Apani Networks talks with me about security from the inside. As things calm down (for those of us not in retail) towards the end of the year, it's time to think about our approach to security and ask whether we should be taking longer, harder looks at just ...

Certifiable SecurityIt's not like we don't have enough acronyms floating around our industry--acronyms for standards, technologies, product designations, and professional certifications. Add to that list the group of acronyms and names for product certifications administered by various groups and the alphabet soup gets truly thick and meaty. After getting Yet Another Press Release (YAPR) touting a product that had received FIPS and Common Criteria certification, I decided to ask just why someone not in governm ...

A Look at OATHI've heard it said that you can tell our industry loves standards because there are so many of them. I recently had a chance to sit down and talk with several representatives to OATH, the Initiative for Open Authentication. These folks are clear that they're not trying to become a standards body, but they are active in promoting standards that will allow authentication components from many different vendors to work together. I think it's an interesting idea, and an example of companies com ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
What's the True Cost of Security?There's something about economics that tends to act like the anti-coffee to most folks. Their eyes glaze over, the head starts to kinda bob back and forth, and before you know it they're snoring on the conference-room table. When it comes to security, we want to focus on the exciting, glamorous parts--the pen tests and intrusion prevention--while we ignore some of the things (like HR policies) that can have a huge overall impact. In this podcast, I talk with John Pironti of Unisys, who has ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
What's in Your iPod?I don't know about you, but I'm hooked on my iPod. I carry it with me when I mow the lawn, it's my soundtrack when the drive is more than about 10 minutes, and it keeps the outside world at bay when I'm working. I knew that, like most computing devices, the friedly little media players (and their associated software on your PC) carry a security risk, but I hadn't given a lot of thought to just what that penalty might be until I talked with Josh Daymont, director of security of research at S ...

Thinking About the WorstBoy, let an unplanned series come to an end and things just go haywire. After a most interesting September we're back with another Security Channel podcast, this time on disaster preparations and business continuity. It seems to me that the most significant (and, by far, the most common) failure in responding to disasters is the basic failure of imagination; we just can't allow ourselves to imagine that the very worst could happen to our businesses and our families. This in spite of ample e ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
The Privacy Series PausesOur unplanned series of podcasts on identity theft and personal information safety wraps up this week. This has been a fascinating topic for me to explore, and I hope that you've gotten some useful information, but we're going to be looking at some other topics for the next few weeks. We wrap up with a good interview, though, with Mike Gibbons, who's vice president and general manager of Federal Security Solutions at Unisys. Mike had a long career at the FBI, and five years with one of the ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
I Gotta Be Me (and not You)Our unplanned series of podcasts on identity theft and personal information safety continues this week. I wish I could say that I had carefully thought out a theme for the late Summer, but serindipity gets the credit--I'm just pleased to take advantage of the situation. I'm pleased because I think (occasionaly worm outbreak notwithstanding) that keeping customer information safe is the most significant issue in network security today. Frankly, the only other issue that comes close is infras ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
A Subtle Pattern Begins to Emerge...You know, sometimes a theme is carefully thought out and planned, and sometimes it just happens. It looks like we've got one of the second sort of themes going on here, as we have the latest in an on-going series of interviews focused on privacy and data security issues. Of course, most of the security stories that have made headlines lately have been privacy and data security stories, so I suppose it's not a real stretch to see them here, but it's been fascinating to hear the different tak ...

Keeping Identities SafeSorry for the delay in getting this week's podcast up, but I think it will be worth the wait, since we have a great interview on identity theft and what companies should be doing to keep their customers from becoming victims. Everything we're seeing in research terms shows that identity theft is a huge issue for customers, and that they're in the process of making it a huge issue for companies that do business on the Internet. Neal Creighton, CEO of GeoTrust, is the subject of this week's i ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Security Through The CycleLet's see, we've had travel (to Chicago), testing (of fixed-point wireless systems), an industry name change (Longhorn becomes Vista), and continuing news of vulnerabilities and attacks. In the midst of all this, I had a very good conversation with Dr. Hugh Thompson, chief security strategist at Security Innovation. We spent some time talking about the state of security in general, with some special attention given to the things that application developers can do to build security into the ...

A bit of Application SecurityWell, we've managed to avoid being blown away by a hurricane or burnt to a crisp in the sun while on a roof, so I guess it's been a pretty good week. To top it all off, I had a very good conversation with Paul Henry, senior vice president of Cyberguard. We talked about a number of things, starting with the attitudes he's seeing from companies who are looking at application-layer security.I've built a podcast on the interview. You can find it here and, as always, let me know what you think. ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Security Built InOK, it's been a week since the last podcast, with a holiday and many hours crawling around on office-building roofs thrown into the middle. Fortunately, this is a solid podcast, featuring an interview with Kevin Kernan, CEO of Secure Software. The interview covers a lot of territory about information and network security, and should be interesting regardless of the type of products or approach you use for your organization's security.You'll find the podcast here.

...and the Survey Says:There's nothing like spending a couple of days crawling around on roofs and in attics (in June, and in Florida) to make you appreciate the concept of "inside". Add the "excessive rainfall" (a genuine National Weather Service term) that we've been getting for several days, and it's a good time to stay inside and get some work done. You'll see the reason for the outside work in a few weeks--it's for a review of fixed-point wireless networking that will be coming up in Network Computing. It in ...

Back from the DesertBoy, it's been a busy couple of weeks, with travel (NetSec in Scottsdale was a killer conference at a great resort), getting ready for a huge test (fixed wireless networking), and several smaller tests in progress. Oh, yeah, we (CMP, that is) also started a daily video project that I'm contributing to. If you haven't seen The News Show, you should really check it out.Now on to this edition of the blog and podcast. I had a chance to sit down with Rich Baich, CISO of ChoicePoint, and talk ab ...

The Federation (Identity)Tonight's podcast is about identity federation, and especially about IBM's latest announcements on the topic. Last week I had a chance to talk via phone with Joe Anthony of IBM, and he shared some of the thinkgs that he sees in the developing identity federation market. Now, I've seen enough people struggling with multiple computer-based identities to know that identity federation is coming, and ultimately coming in a big way. But I've also covered enough exploits and thefts to be more than ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
An N+I InterviewI promised more podcasting about the things I saw and heard at Networld + Interop, and I've finally shaken off the need to sleep (and catch up on work that was waiting when I got back) enough to get started. The podcast this time contains a confessiona and a look inside the sophisticated world of recording a podcast, but the focus is on a conversation I had with Jayshree Ullal, Senior Vice President oc Cisco's Security and Technology Group. She had some interesting things to say--take a lis ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
From the Halls of InteropThis week, I'm out in Las Vegas at the Interop trade show, and the fun is just beginning. I plan to have some interesting news from the show floor, but first, I have to get there. Yesterday and this morning I've been listening to companies talk about their products as part of the Best of Interop awards program. I realize that most folks never get to enjoy a process like this, so I put together a podcast that lets you hear some of the process, and meet some of the people involved. Let me kno ...

Taking Action against AttacksHow far should we go in defending our networks? Is it enough to stiffen our defenses and patch vulnerabilities, or should we actively pursue (through legal means, of course) those who work to usurp network resources and steal information? For a growing number of organizations, strengthening the bulwarks is no longer enough--it's time to treat network attackers like criminals.In the course of the last week, I've had three separate conversations on this topic. One was with the executive direc ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Let's Get SeriousApril has, so far, been a month of bad news in the computer security field as Lexis/Nexis and Mastercard revealed that individual data had been release in system breaches. They're not alone, as we've found listening to the steady drumbeat of news stories announcing that data from various organizations has been released without authorization.The fact is, after all the talk and all the legislation, we're still not taking security seriously. You can hear more about what we're not doing--and wh ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Introduced to ISA ServerWith ISA Server 2004 Enterprise Edition, Microsoft is trying to bring a number of performance and security functions together under a single management interface in a single product. They seem to have done a pretty good job a key portions of the task, if the demonstration we had in the Gainesville, Florida Real World Lab is any indication. We will, of course, reserve judgement until we've had a chance to put the product through its paces on our own, but the management interface, at least, l ...

Mile-High EntryWho would have thought that you could build a podcast and blog entry set at 35,000 feet over western Tennessee? Me, neither, but here it is. This time, I'm talking about a couple of tools, from Dymo, and Levenger that help us keep things straight in the lab. In all honesty, the tools' use isn't confined to the lab--I've used the tool from Levenger almost every day for over a decade.After the tool talk, it's time to talk about fiber-optic cabling.

There's Something About an AirportI don't know exactly what it is, but something about spending time in a line of strangers, holding my boots and my belt in my hands leads me to thoughts about how to improve security. I think the time has come for companies to take the plunge into two-factor authentication and leave the abomination of "strong passwords" behind. You can hear me discuss my reasons for thinking this in today's podcast, which you can download here.There's something new in this podcast--I'm spreading my audio wi ...

Security From Two DirectionsOnce more into the podcast, dear friends, as we consider a couple of products that have been the subject of recent conversations. The first is from Tizor. The TZX 1000 is an appliance that builds logs of database and application access across the network--an important issue if you're in an industry laboring under any of the many regulations requiring you to document who sees what in the corporate information realm.The other product, from Permeo, is designed to enforce host-configuration pol ...

Something Completely DifferentHey, everyone, let's try something new. I've become fascinated by the world of podcasting, so I thought it might be interesting to podcast some of my daily observations, and even some of the interviews that are part of my week. The experiment begins with my very first podcast--found here.Now, the first few podcasts are going to be awfully simple--me and a microphone, as I try to screen out the noise of the switch that sits behind my head in the office.
