Credit-Card Security Falters | online.wsj.com

Why EMC? (1) EMC’s RSA Division is the best known encryption firm in the world; and data encryption is the next frontier in preventing data theft. (2) EMC makes data storage and encrypted data requires substantially more storage as encrypted data cannot be compressed.

Spyware forum: Computer users often to blame for problems | www.computerworld.com

Expect budget cuts in Security Software and Services by the 3rd quarter of 2008.  The prospect of corporate criminal prosecution will bring major changes.  Hacker activity is at an all time high and many security products and services have been oversold.  Some corporate executives believe the virus prevention firms write most of the viruses. Expect biometrics to start playing a more active role.
