Security Trends - RSA 2010
ANX sent four delegates (including our CEO) to the RSA conference this year with learning in mind; learning more about what our competition is up to, learning more about potential business partners, and learning more about emerging trends in security. Here are some of my takeaways from the conference:
Attendance
According to Tom Heiser (of RSA) attendance was up 20% this year. After a disappointing 2009 this is refreshing news and hopefully the sign of a recovering economy.
Themes
Cloud Security: The Cloud Security Alliance put on a sold out show to kick off the conference on Monday. Unfortunately I did not arrive in San Francisco until Monday afternoon but I heard they had to turn many away due to...

RSA Discussion with Richi Jennings about Targeted Attacks
Targeted attacks are one of the hot topics at RSA this week. A targeted threat is a class of malware destined for one specific organization or industry. The primary objective is to capture sensitive user information. The January attack on Google gmail, termed Operation Aurora, is the most recent highly visible targeted attack.
During the show, I caught up with Richi Jennings who is an independent technology and security consultant and we discussed targeted attacks. Check out the highlights from our conversation in the video blog below:

Botnet invasion at 2,500 companies underscores need for comprehensive managed security approach
The broadly reported disclosure today that nearly 2,500 companies have been victimized by carefully planned botnet attacks should come as no surprise if you're following this type of threat (http://bit.ly/dj7U2v). The ZeuS spyware is widely available to hackers and can escape detection by many standard antivirus programs.
What is surprising is the number of companies that haven't adopted a more comprehensive and multi-layered approach to information security. Too many companies believe that desktop antivirus programs alone are sufficient to protect against the growing scope of threats. They aren't. The same can be said about...

National Data Breach Notification Laws Getting Closer
Political momentum is building for a nationalized approach to data breach notification. I think it's just a question of "when" this will become the law of the land.
Here's a quick summary of the laws under consideration:
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee recently approved two bills that would require organizations with data breaches to report them to potential victims.
The first bill is called the Data Breach Notification Act and is sponsored by Senator Dianne Feinstein of California. It would require U.S. agencies and businesses that engage in interstate commerce to report data breaches to victims whose personal information "has been, or is reasonably believed to have...
