AT&T hacker wants government to pay him $13M

Nicholas D. Evans: The importance of zero-trust and an adaptive perimeter in cyber fortifications


The cybersecurity world is at a crossroads in its evolution. In the same way
that concentric castles, with inner and outer walls, were built in response to
advances in siege technology, a new approach is required for cybersecurity due
to the evolving nature of today's threats. This new approach should
combine the existing tenets of "converged security" and
"defense-in-depth" with the new tenets of "zero trust"
and "adaptive perimeter".

DOJ's charges against China reframe security, surveillance debate

The U.S. Department of Justice's decision to bring computer hacking and economic
espionage charges against five alleged members of the Chinese army is an attempt
by President Barack Obama's administration to redirect a global discussion about
cyberhacking and surveillance, some cybersecurity experts said.
