Steve Pate: Virtualized environments. Real risk.


It's not always obvious when you've been hacked. New reports from security
investigators are estimating that the recent Adobe breach may in fact be the
biggest known breach of all time – with more than 152 million user
accounts stolen. With today's virtualized infrastructure, an
unprecedented amount of data can exist in one place, making it a virtual
treasure trove. Virtualized environments pose very real risks, but with the
right knowledge, you can address these risks and take full advantage of the
benefits.

Antone Gonsalves: Time to take the mobile out of mobile security


Rather than treat security on smartphones and tablets as something new,
companies should see it as an extension of the same tactics used for years to
lockdown data.

Darlene Storm: DOJ appeals: Lavabit can't shut down to thwart electronic surveillance


Even while the Dark Mail Alliance works on Dark Mail to guarantee email
privacy, the unhappy DOJ filed a US appellate brief in the Lavabit
surveillance case primarily claiming that an email service can promise security,
but it still has to hand over the encryption keys to the government if ordered
to do so.

the tricky balancing act that comes when you want to give employees greater
access to data but also need to keep corporate information safe. Also, we look
