The Evolving Enterprise Threat Environment

September 21, 2011 By
This won't work anymore

The second interview for IDG on Monday, September 12, featured Andrzej Kawalec, HP's CTO of Enterprise Security along with Bob Gourley. The two first discussed changes in the enterprise threat environment, which have been dramatic. They agreed on three major emerging challenges in enterprise cybersecurity. The first is simply the nature of the threat, which is growing more sophisticated, faster, and more targeted over time. Phishing, for example, … [Read more...]

Triumfant real-time malware detection and remediation

April 19, 2009 By

As I've previously noted I'm on the advisory board for Trimufant (I'm at this page).  I'm hoping all CTO types will check out this company (and I'm also hoping you don't mind me blogging about a company I'm advising.  After all, I'm associated with them because I believe they are a world-class outfit with a great capability). In this post I want to bring your attention to a Triumfant press release .  It is an announcement that Triumfant now provides … [Read more...]

Enhancing Security and Functionality At The Same Time

February 24, 2009 By

Have you ever been sucked into the false debate over how much IT spending should be spent on security?  I used to all the time.  Some folks point to a rule of thumb that goes something like "ten percent of the IT budget should be applied to security."  That old school formula may well be part of the reason we got into the mess we are currently in.  It contributes to thoughts that lead you to think security can be separated.  By my way of thinking, … [Read more...]

The Future of Cyberspace Security: The Law of The Rodeo

October 20, 2008 By

This is an update of my now annual assessment of the future of technology associated with good and evil in cyberspace which was first posted here. Predictions of the future of technology are increasingly starting to sound like science fiction, with powerful computing grids giving incredible computational power to users and with autonomous robots becoming closer and closer to being in our daily lives vice just in computer science departments. … [Read more...]

Melissa Hathaway Op-Ed on Cyber Security

October 14, 2008 By

Below I'm going to post, in its entirety, the text of an e-mail I received from the ODNI notification service.   The subject is an op-ed written by Melissa Hathaway, a senior leader who has been spearheading significant coordination action in the federal government (opinion: Melissa is perhaps the most effective SES-level leader in the US government today, IMHO). I wanted to post this in totality for a couple reasons.  One is it is something all of … [Read more...]

Performance Management In Organizations and Computers

October 13, 2008 By

There are some interesting analogies between performance management applied to organizations and performance management applied to computers. In both cases, performance metrics are crucial to success.  In organizations, what we reward gets measured, and what gets measured can be more efficiently and effectively done.   In our computers, what we decide is important gets measured, and those measurements can help us drive to increasingly effective and … [Read more...]

Compliance enhances IT support to the mission

August 1, 2008 By

I've previously blogged about Triumfant, a company that has mastered the automated detection and resolution of IT problems.   I also think of them as the world's greatest compliance monitoring capability.  What do I mean by compliance?  I mean compliance in the context of the many rules, regulations and configurations that external organizations and the government require, and also compliance with your own policies and guidance. For those who … [Read more...]

Automated Resolution of IT Problems

July 11, 2008 By

In January 2008 I was named to the advisory board of Triumfant, a company who has mastered the automated detection and resolution of IT problems.  Of all the IT firms I've seen, they are the ones with the most comprehensive approach to automated resolution management and the only one I've seen that can automate the entire lifecycle of IT problem management, from identification to resolution. I recently read some very exciting news about … [Read more...]
