I haven't been whipped into this much of a frenzy since Hormel changed the labels on the SPAM cans in Hawaii.PDP (of gnucitizen fame) masterfully stitched together a collection of mixed metaphors, generalizations, reductions to the ridiculous and pejoratives to produce his opus magnum on cloud computing (in)security titled "The Cloud Is Not That Insecure."Oh.Since I have spent the better part of my security career building large "cloud-like" services and the products that help, at ...

Acabei de voltar da Loja da Vivo e, o que fui fazer lá, vocês já devem saber: desbloquear meu iPhone 3G oficialmente e ver porque não conseguia desbloquear o mesmo seguindo os procedimentos da Central Vivo. Depois de 40 minutos de espera, a atendente falou que o desbloqueio só era possível com Identidade e CPF, que eu não tinha na hora, mas antes de quebrar o pau na loja, eu expliquei que já tinha solicitado ...

There are Obama aides and supporters who are upset that the man who vowed to deliver us from 28 years of Bushes and Clintons has been stocking up on Clintonites.

I had a briefing with Patrick Kerpan and Craig Heimark of CohesiveFT last week in response to some comments that Craig had left on my blog post regarding PCI compliance in the Cloud, here. I was intrigued, albeit skeptically, with how CohesiveFT was positioning the use of VPNs within the cloud and differentiating their solution from the very well established IPSec and SSL VPN capabilities we all know and love. What's so special about tunnels ...

Mogull commented yesterday on my post regarding TCG's IF-MAP and remarked that in discussing cloud security and security models, the majority of folks, myself included, were focusing on the network:Chris’s posting, and most of the ones I’ve seen, are heavily focused on network security concepts as they relate to the cloud. But if we look at cloud computing at the macro level, there are additional layers which are just as critical (in no particular order): ...

I've made no secret of my displeasure with the PCI Security Standards Council's lack of initiative when it comes to addressing the challenges and issues associated with virtualization and PCI compliance. My last post on the topic brought to light an even more extreme example of the evolution of virtualization's mainstream adoption and focused on the implications that cloud computing brings to bear when addressing the PCI DSS.I was disheartened to find that upon inquiring ...

In my previous post titled "Cloud Computing: Invented By Criminals, Secured By ???" I described the need for a new security model, methodology and set of technologies in the virtualized and cloud computing realms built to deal with the dynamic and distributed nature of evolving computing:This basically means that we should distribute the sampling, detection and prevention functions across the entire networked ecosystem, not just to dedicated security appliances; each of the end nodes should ...

Personal branding discussions are making the rounds of the social media, marketing, and PR blogging circles. Some people think “personal branding” is evil, others think it’s necessary, and others still don’t care about it. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about personal branding: Personal branding is the process whereby people and their careers are marked as brands.[1] It has been noted that while previous self-help management techniques were about self-improvement, the personal branding concept suggests ...

Filed under: HandheldsEach week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology. Last week's Switched On delved into Celio's REDFLY, an austere smartphone accessory designed for enterprise users who manage their digital lives on their smartphones. REDFLY has faced scrutiny from the geek elite who have noted that, for about the same price as a REDFLY, one can get an independently functioning netbook that does so much more. A similar argument has also ...
