The competent and malicious employee strikes again

I have lost count of the number of organisations that I have met that have built-up their internal development team more as an accident of history than a strategic decision to develop in-house.

So today was the last day of InfoSec, and the last round of briefings.

Maybe InfoSec should be rechristened the database security show?

Day 1 of InfoSec, held in London's Olympia venue, was going to be an interesting experience from the start.

This is the time of year when European based security analysts are at their most frenzied as next week marks the 3 days of the InfoSecurity Show, or InfoSec for short.

How many other users are sitting at their PCs right now and getting just as irritated as me?

I finally got around to upgrading my laptop as the previous incumbent was starting to be a pain (quite literally) when travelling. Was Vista the way to go?

Sophos have just launched the WS 1000, a web security appliance. Will it succeed?

So the company responsible for processing pay and pensions for the Metropolitan Police was burgled the other day and 3 laptops stolen, along with payroll details.
