We’re losing the race to secure our smart autos
The use of IT systems in automobiles is outpacing industry’s ability to secure them, and effective government regulation is likely to be a decade or more away.
GCN: Cyber Resilience Summit
Enterprise security will never be perfect, but this NSA lifecycle can help you understand your adversary and respond with the appropriate mitigations.
Living in the real world
The IRS is preparing for a digital future as if the Real World had already disappeared. It’s no surprise that the agency’s taxpayer service has gone to hell. IRS managers and their congressional overseers have to acknowledge that the Internet is not now—and probably never will be—the answer to everything.
Tenable Network Security: Aligning IT with Government Agency Missions to Reduce Shadow IT
Lack of communication between IT departments and those responsible for executing agency mission can lead to the creation of shadow IT—unauthorized and often unmanaged applications that can introduce vulnerabilities. This is something that SecurityCenter Continuous View™ (CV) can help you identify, understand and manage.
Scheme for Format-Preserving Encryption can help secure personal data
NIST has published recommendations for using crypto algorithms such as AES for format-preserving encryption (FPE), which can be a big help in protecting personal financial and health data.
New Protection Profile brings security to valuable desktop real estate
A new Common Criteria protection profile for peripheral sharing switches boosts the security of desktop components where classified and unclassified networks converge.
