An interview from SC Congress Canada 2011 with Ron Deibert and Rafal Rohozinski from The Munk School for Global Affairs at the University of Toronto.
In an interview with SC Magazine Managing Editor Greg Masters, David Koretz, CEO of web application security start-up Mykonos Software, explains why the industry needs a rethink. He says security products traditionally have produced too much data, which leads to stress on customers and too many false positives. And even with this preponderance of information, solutions still are missing threats, as evidenced by zero-day attacks that evade malware detection technology. Koretz explains why a shift in focus, plus increased education for college students, may make all the difference.
As virtualization becomes more mainstream, even in small and midsize organizations, security professionals must consider the risks of managing this emerging technology. Threats such as VM sprawl, in which IT departments lose visibility of their virtual assets, creates the potential of unpatched and vulnerable machines. Rob Juncker, VP of technology at Shavlik, sits down with SC Magazine Executive Editor Dan Kaplan to explain why organizations must apply the same security principles to their virtual machines as they do for their traditional computing systems.
