If an unsual inquiry or email has an urgent plea, it's risky to act on. But many do. (ScottWright)
posted Mon March 8th 2010 @ 12:00 AM

I often try to make the point that the human element is almost always the weakest link, and the easiest path of attack, for an enterprise. The article below by Dan Goodin of The Register gives some good examples of how this is the case. Security penetration testers, Mike Baily and Mike Murray, consistently illustrate how easy this is - just like with my Honey Stick Project. Read More »

The botnet Whack-a-Mole game is just beginning (ScottWright)
posted Thu March 4th 2010 @ 6:18 AM

So, it's nice that a complex story of super-sleuthing and international cooperation has come to an end for the Mariposa botnet. We can all sleep much easier knowing that these 12 million zombie PC's are no longer being held hostage (click HERE for the Associated Press story from Jordan Robinson). But, this is just the beginning of a new phase in computer infections by malicious software that's smarter than its owners. Read More »

Smart Grid Privacy: Possible Privacy Standards To Address Concerns
(Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:42:04 -0500)

Sorry to be so tardy in getting a blog post out. As many of you know I've been working with the NIST Smart Grid Privacy Subgroup since late June. The work done for this group is through time volunteered by all involved. As a quick recap, I led the privacy impact assessment (PIA) for the consumer-to-utility portion of the planned smart grid during the late June to late August/early September time frame. On Friday, 11/20, I provided an update on our NIST groups activities during the Gridwise Alliance phone conference; perhaps some of you were on that call? Here are some links showing information about our NIST Smart Grid privacy group's work:

7 Reasons Why Your Company Needs a Privacy Policy
(Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:04:07 +0000)
