The Trouble Heading for your Business in 2013

Facebook, Twitter, Apple and Microsoft: all icons of the information technology industry and all the focus of targeted attacks in Feb 2013. The bad news for us all is, that even those that should be some of the most tech-savvy companies in the world, can fall foul of targeted attacks. Micro ...

The Battle of the Titans: What it all means for IT managers caught in the middle

By Cesare Garlati Adapt, accept and manage: a BYOD mantra for corporate IT RIM and Apple: two firms with more contrasting current fortunes you could not wish to imagine. The once high-flying Canadian BlackBerry-maker, for so long the darling of IT managers and beloved of time-starved execs the w ...

Lunch with Cryptography Research

On Friday, I had lunch with Ken Warren, marketing director, Cryptography Research (CRI). There was no topic agenda (just the way I like it) and we had an informal and enjoyable lunch, with conversation dancing around social networking, consumerisation, and some pretty serious concerns around count ...

Apples and Oranges = Apple and Microsoft?

Several people have asked me for a response to Eugene Kaspersky’s views on Apple, as expressed at Infosecurity Europe last week, suggesting that Apple is ten years behind on security. But having spent some time on an analysis that no-one has used, I guess I’ll use it here – it ...

iOS Jailbreaking: Does Absinthe Make the Heart Grow Fonder?

Kevin Townsend asked me for my opinion on iGadget jailbreaking, in the light of the recent release of Absinthe, a jailbreaking tool for the iPhone 4s and iPad 2. As a result, I’m quoted in a useful article for Infosecurity magazine here that also includes quotes from luminaries such as David E ...

Now You See It, Now You Don't...

Apple security, that is. Clearly, the company's hiring of a product security manager carries a very clear "we need to improve" message, but it's clearly tied to a marketing and IP problem with its much publicized habit of losing prototype iPhones: hat tip to the New York Times and Ni ...

Shhh!!! No Roaring in the Library!

It may lack drama after all the excitement of BlackHat (which is my excuse for not having noticed it earlier), but Apple QuickTime 7.7 fixes a stack-based buffer overflow issue that was flagged officially back in April 2011, as described on the National Vulnerabilities Database entry ...

Not with a Bang, but a Whimper

The high-profile security conference season is usually enlivened with a few Mac attacks, Apple app attacks, and other euphonious assonances. While the most consistent source of such diversions is probably CanSecWest, BlackHat and Defcon often have some interesting harvesting from the Apple orchard t ...

One-sided Explosion

Consumerization – the use of consumer products within the corporate environment, is one of the more challenging issues for security teams to deal with. While a standard, well-defined, and well-protected infrastrucutre is a nice idea, there is more and more pressure to open up the network ...
