Steve Pate: Will FISMA, FedRAMP impact cloud security?


I can usually tell when a regulation has teeth when I start to hear multiple
customers asking about it. Interestingly, the Federal Information Security
Amendments Act of 2013, also known as HR 1163, isn't even in effect yet,
but people are already looking for ways to comply. While regulations aren't
usually the most intriguing reading, there are some interesting gems in the new
FISMA amendment.

FISA court asks government to declassify secret order in Yahoo case

The U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has ordered the government to
declassify its secret order and parties' briefs in a case which Yahoo expects
will demonstrate that it resisted government directives.

Darlene Storm: Can you hear me now? Yeah, hacked Verizon device can nab your texts and photos too


Security researchers hacked a Verizon femtocell and turned it into a spying
device if an unlucky user is within 40 feet of the network extender. The device
is small, portable and "can pick up signals through most
walls." Their upcoming Def Con talk will show how any NSA
surveillance wannabes could eavesdrop on phone calls, text messages, photos sent
on an iPhone or Android smartphone.

Putin suggests Snowden may stop leaking documents

Edward Snowden, the leaker of U.S. National Security Agency surveillance
