Corporates & Governments

An interesting argument made by Joshua Corman during the conference debate “Metrics are Bunk!?: A Zombie Apocalypse, Football/Soccer & Security Metrics” at the RSA Conference on October 13th 2011 is strongly convergent with Satorys’ position that security intelligence must be empirically extracted from real-life data, rather than dogmatically devised from theoretical studies.

Après l’Allemagne, la Suisse est à son tour touchée par une polémique sur un cheval de Troie installé par la police sur les ordinateurs des citoyens.

published on Banking Solutions 2011

The financial and IT security industries have one thing in common: they are both undergoing a major paradigm shift. Have mainstream beliefs been wrong after all? Have supposedly unshakable edifices been standing on clay feet? Both communities are looking for their 21st century gold standard.

Therefore we decided to sum up this interview for you to take advantage of ones mistake and learn from this recent targeted attack.

Ces dernières années, nous sommes rentrés dans un nouveau paradigme de cyber-sécurité.

Confédération Suisse – Berne, 19.04.2011 – Les cyberattaques visent toujours en priorité à rendre les sites Web inaccessibles ou à les infecter par des maliciels. Mais les mobiles ont changé: les actes de vengeance, la volonté de nuire à la concurrence ou les agressions à mobiles politiques ont pris le relais du simple vandalisme. Le ver Stuxnet montre encore que presque tout système est exposé à des cyberattaques. Ces thèmes et d’autres sont au cœur du douzième rapport semestriel de MELANI. More »
