For BYOD Best Practices, Secure Data, Not Devices

IT organizations are justifiably concerned about the security risks inherent in
bringing your own device (BYOD). Many are turning to mobile device management
(MDM) products and services to address the problem. But a number of mobile
security vendors believe organizations are focusing the device when they should
be focusing on the data.

Darlene Storm: Black Hat: Hacking iris recognition systems


You've undoubtedly seen iris scanners being tricked by some high-tech
contact or even via a scavenged eyeball in action/adventure or thriller movies
when a secret agent or criminal wants to break into a vault or other high tech
facility, but at the upcoming Black Hat USA hacking conference, security
researcher Javier Galbally will talk about a new vulnerability to attack iris
recognition systems. This seems interesting from a security and a privacy point
of view, but especially thought-provoking in light of the FBI's plans
to test a database "for searching iris scans nationwide to more
quickly track criminals."

Takin' care of business

This IT pilot fish working for a big hotel chain gets a call and several emails
from a new hotel one afternoon -- and no wonder, because the network has all but
collapsed -- so guests can't be checked in and keys can't be made.
