Network Security Blog

By popular demand, Rich is back this week and will be the continuing
co-host for the Network Security Podcast.  Truthfully, we’ve received
nothing but positive feedback for bringing Rich on board.  Rich starts
a new segment, Talking to the Suits, his wit and wisdom on dealing with
the folks who are making the decisions and signing the checks.  I guess
I’ll have to come up with a segment of my own again.

Show Notes:

• Fight Viruses with your USB Flash Drive: 
  Both of us like the idea of keeping these tools in your pocket. 
  Keeping a LiveCD designed for cleaning up infected machines, like the Trinity Rescue Kit is a good idea too.
• Cybercriminals employ toolkits in rising numbers to steal data:  Not really news.
• CustomizeGoogle:  This is worth looking at just to force Gmail to use SSL at all times.
• Indian government forcing cybercafes to install keyloggers: 
  Another example of using a tool that doesn’t really meet the stated
  goals.  Massive monitoring has been shown to be very poor at catching
  thieves or terrorists.
• Rich announces a new series of blog posts on Data Loss (or Leak) Prevention
• The first Talking to the Suits segment: ROI
• Tonight’s music:  Refrigerator Blues by 77 South
• You can find Rich’s blog at www.securosis.com, and mine at www.mckeay.net
