Will the user define security policies in the future?I think, I blogged about this event already earlier: Years ago I was meeting a customer and was talking about the future of IT. I was telling the audience (about 10 people including the Security Officer) that there is a good chance that IT will not define a set of hardware anymore but that the user will buy their own and use it for business. Additionally, different people have different ... 
Get off XP or Risk your Business?One of the highest hit rates I ever had on my blog was one I wrote right before Conficker broke out. I called it Playing Russian Roulette with your Network. The background was, that we released an out of band security update and our customers came back and asked us, whether they really shall deploy it – this situation then led to Conficker. About 12 months from today, Windows XP will ... 
Security in 2013 – the way forward?Typically January is the month where we are asked to make predictions on the trends for the New Year. I do not like this as I am an engineer and not a fortune tellerJ. But there are things we know and things we definitely need to drive this year. I would actually put it into the context of typical hygiene of any IT environment. Let's try to understand, where we stand ... 
The Directory in the Cloud?It seems that it is an eternity ago – and it is. Pretty much three years ago, Doug Cavit and me published a paper called the Cloud Computing Security Considerations. Even though it is three years, the paper is still worth reading as the content still applies. What we basically said was, that if you look at the Cloud, there are five areas of Considerations: Compliance and Risk Management: Organizations shifting ... 
I guess, I do not have to comment this – right? What Microsoft can teach Apple about security response To quote the summary: Microsoft just released seven security updates to fix 23 vulnerabilities in Windows and other products. In February, Apple released a massive update that covered 51 vulnerabilities and also introduced an embarrassing . . . → Read More: What Microsoft can teach Apple about security response I know, that’s the second time now I am doing this comparison thingy and I promise that I will stop again and deliver you a cool tool as the next post but I read this article: Why I’ve finally had it with my Linux server and I’m moving back to Windows – be sure that . . . → Read More: Moving from Linux to Windows Well, I have to admit – I am biased. I never used an iPhone in my life and based on my experience with my iPod, I hope I never have to, but who knows. I really do not like the UI which – to me – is everything but user friendly and the worst thing . . . → Read More: Comparing Windows Phone 7 and iPhone An interesting one: Google Threw A Punch, Microsoft Fires Back With A Missile Roger I really love reading Kim Cameron’s Identity Weblog. Fairly often it is thought provoking… He recently wrote about his experience with the new iPhone privacy policy: Apple giving out your iPhone fingerprints and location. He was one (probably of the very few) reading the privacy policy and found the following statement: Collection and Use of . . . → Read More: Do We Really Want Privacy? If you have not seen these numbers, they are very impressive: Microsoft by the numbers. One of the most impressive figure in there is that we sold 150,000,000 Windows 7 licenses since the launch. Well, this figure by itself does not really impress you, no? It is just big I guess. Well there is another . . . → Read More: Microsoft By Numbers Well, it is not me saying that, it is actually Clint Boulton, eWeek.

An interesting read on the way they compete…. Lies, Damned Lies and the “Gone Google” Calculator Roger As you know (I stress that fairly often ), I am Swiss. The reason why I am stressing this today is that I want to give you an example on security from the Swiss market: The banks here on place compete with each other – obviously. However, I have never seen the banks competing on . . . → Read More: Vulnerability Disclosure to Compete? |
