The CSO's failure to lead

Talk to any information security professional over the past decade about a
number of their greatest perceived challenges when it comes to doing their job.
One way you'll hear this is when it comes to the lack of budget. Another way
you'll often hear this expressed is security "doesn't get a seat at the table."

Neustar 2014 DDoS Attacks and Impact Report

For the third consecutive year, Neustar surveyed hundreds of companies on

that the DDoS attack landscape is changing. The number of companies attacked is
up, but attack duration is down. Larger attacks are more common, but most
attacks are still less than 1 Gbps.

Bart Perkins: Forget the expense -- more secure credit cards are an opportunity

Cost has kept U.S. businesses from adopting fraud-resistant credit cards, but
consumer concerns about privacy could make adoption a key differentiator.
