 So I’ve been thinking more about Malcon (OH NOES you’re probably saying). Anyway, after I posted the thing the other day about Malcon, Kurt Wismer’s counter-argued on his blog that my logic was flawed. That could be.
Out of respect for Kurt’s well-reasoned disagreement, I won’t try to do a TLDR synopsis here (go read it if you want the full background) other than to focus in on one point that he alludes to. I’m still trying to get to the root of how (or if) this thing (Malcon) is different from Blackhat – and why one would be OK in our community and… Continue reading: Introducing the “Malware Conference for Global Evil (and Mass Effect 2)”
My article this month for eSecurityPlanet addresses the oft overlooked and misunderstood issue of securing SCADA systems. Many thanks to Jonathan Pollet of Red Tiger Security for providing feedback and quotes for the article.
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems run critical infrastructure and manufacturing processes. SCADA is what the local power company uses to manage usage on the grid and ensure customers have energy during times of high use. It’s also what manufacturing plants use to manage the shop floor to make sure production can continue without interruption. If you’re like most network and application security professionals, you’ve never worked with a SCADA system. SCADA knowledge is specialized and often not covered in traditional security training and certifications like… Continue reading: Why SCADA Security Matters–And What You Should Know About It
My Blogger posts now also appear in my Facebook Notes page, FYI. I’m exploring multi-channel mode options in part because I’m seeing market consolidation trends around Facebook and Twitter (platform-specific native clients, next-gen aggregators such as FlipBoard, etc.) and suspect relatively fewer people, over time, will be directly tracking traditional blogs via blog pages and blog XML syndication feeds.

 The other day while starting work on a post about why hype is never a good marketing strategy when I remembered, “hey! I already wrote about this.” Since the information is still relevant today, we decided to make the piece available again.
Many thanks to Carol Baroudi, Founder of Baroudi Group, Inc. for kind permission to reprint this document.
Software and technology vendors, especially those in the United States, have gotten into the habit of overselling the capabilities of their products in an effort to close deals. While this is an annoying practice for non-security related products, it can be downright dangerous when it’s applied to… Continue reading: Blast from the Past: Why Vendor Hype Benefits No One
I was reminded of the service I set up to publish Blogger => Twitter this morning when Twitter sent an email explaining their move to OAuth (which, among other things, broke my FeedDemon Twitter subscriptions…). The email included a link to a connections page listing the services I have authorized to access my Twitter account. I was reminded of TwitterFeed when I checked the connections page. I made the connection last summer, on a whim, when I saw a reference to TwitterFeed. I attempted to update my TwitterFeed settings this morning (it was previously set to the default of one post per hour, apparently), to have it syndicate a more consistent stream from my blog.
