Can anyone in your organization provide more information about how one can think about server-based computing risks in terms of deciding whether or not to be concerned about encryption per se as opposed to doing whatever is possible to prevent unauthorized access, which seems to be an appropriate path for small businesses to follow.

Such as links etc.??

Thank you, Tom

Actively blogging for a quality outfit like Infosec Island has benefits for professional who want to bring attention to their expertise and the solutions they bring to market to mitigate threats, and can bring much needed business in this rough economy.

Blogging is doubly beneficial for those of us who have spent some time in the unemployment lines too. Quality articles can highlight your expertise in ways that no CV or interview possibly could, and really make you stand out from the crowd.

I can attest under no uncertain circumstances that I would not have my current position if I had not been actively writing and publishing during my period of unemployment.

When potential employers see you have been consistently producing solid work even during your unpaid respite, they get the impression that you are a gold-star employee candidate who will go the extra mile, and that you are a producer.

Blogging for Infosec Island has added benefits, as the publishers spend considerable time and resources promoting the articles, and generating attention for the authors.

One example to note - Saumil Shah’s post on Infosec Island regarding a Twitter Hack has garnered over 11,000 hits, and a lot of attention for Saumil!

Your article broadly extends fear and risk to IT directors and individuals regarding P2P technology. While caution for using non-standard solutions is quite valid, your overall premise that P2P file sharing can not be secure is simply incorrect.

There are very secure methods for sharing information across the Internet that prevent breaches and information theft. The most commonly used techniques involve the encryption of data using PKI methods that required public and private keys along with certificate-authority (CA) issued digital certificates. These techniques have long been used in the Semiconductor and High-Tech industries where information security is extremely precious.

Please research the RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) for an extremely secure standard for P2P communications. (http://www.rosettanet.org) Any software that uses the RNIF standard will provide consumers confidence that their data will be handled securely across shared Internet connections.

Secure P2P communications across the Internet is a proven technology capability and should not be considered that ALL P2P solutions are easily hacked… far from it. P2P communications can be a cost effective, secure and extremely valuable method for exchanging sensitive business data. IT directors just need to be sure the their selected P2P solution leverages globally-accepted standards-based security methods.

If CIO’s don’t find a “road map” useful in helping them make the transition to the future, perhaps a dash board, with appropriate color codes and a tasty reward for pushing the correct button?

The concept of… “(the) increasingly disparate, often grass roots, increasingly autonomous technologies that need somehow to be harnessed into alignment” is itself flawed and grounded in the 20th century industrial engineering. I am not sure how technologies align, but people are notoriously unpredictable and full of surprise (a hallmark of complex adaptive systems).

Here’s a simple axiom that may help the beleaguered CIO: people first, ideas second and hardware last.
