Cisco impresses with first crack at next-gen firewall

When we tested next-generation firewalls last May, at least one important
security vendor wasn't there: Cisco, because they weren't ready to be tested.
Now that the ASA CX next-generation firewall has had a year to mature, we put
the product through its paces, using the same methodology as our last NGFW test.

Richi Jennings: Apple keeps up PRISM denials, but do read between the lines!


Tim cooks up new data. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) continues to deny that it's involved
in the NSA's PRISM program. In its latest carefully-worded missive, it again
says it's never heard of PRISM, but does admit to having helped Police find some
missing kiddies. So that's OK then. Nothing to see here. In IT Blogwatch,
bloggers pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

More malware is traveling on P2P networks these days

Hackers have found a devious new way to disseminate malware: They're using
peer-to-peer networks.

Digital surveillance programs in other countries trigger controversy

Last week's disclosure of massive data collection efforts at the U.S. National
Security Agency has generated heated debate in the U.S. and across the world
about privacy. The NSA is collecting metadata on U.S. residents' phone calls
made on Verizon's network and Internet records from nine Web companies,
including Facebook, Google and Microsoft, according to reports in the Guardian
and The Washington Post newspapers. But intelligence agencies in other countries
have similar goals, according to reports, and in some cases there are few
details about what data these governments are collecting.

Does encryption really shield you from government's prying eyes?

If you're thinking about encrypting email in light of revelations about U.S.
government spying, you may be wasting your time.

Oracle to ship 40 security fixes for Java SE

CAST YOUR VOTE IN THIS WEEK'S QUICKPOLL

Although the National Security Agency's secretly collecting phone records of
millions of Verizon customers may be nothing new, the current scope of the data
collection is "breathtaking." Do you think the U.S. government be allowed to
collect phone records and mine Internet data on citizens?
