Although the world's financial system is still in dire straits, together with the economies that have been dragged down with them, there seems to be an element of optimism in the air. Perhaps it is the coming of spring that seems to engender new feelings of rebirth and of hope. What is disturbing however is the notion that the worst is behind us a...

I was on CNN this week and CNN also featured Perez Hilton, who was hired by Donald Trump, to judge a beauty contest and Hilton made hateful remarks about Miss Californias beliefs. Perez is a hateful sardonic celebrity critic, and his actions are parallel to others who rant and hate, spew racist comments and even kill. CNN invited me to discuss t

There has been a lot of discussion – and differing opinions - around how risk management must change in light of the financial crisis. But to find the path to recovery, there is perhaps some consensus emerging about what steps risk managers must now take. And with tight deadlines to conquer – such as the FSA’s October deadline for liquidity risk –...

Identity has become complex due to fraud. Fraud, motivated by money, easy credit, and the ease of account takeover. Because identity has yet to be effectively established, anyone can be you. “Identity has yet to be established” is a bold statement that really requires an entire blog post. I’ll explain briefly here and in detail another time. For

The US National Security Agency is probably the most sophisticated group of security hackers in the world. Many will argue this point. The fact is, without NSA, US STRATCOM, which directs the operation and defense of the military’s Global Information Grid, and US CERT, attacks on our critical infrastructures would be successful. We’d be living in

Now, a new form of vigilante justice is occurring: scammers are illegally scamming, blackmailing and extorting other scammers. Who doesn’t love vigilante justice? Some readers may remember Charles Bronson, an American actor who starred in the popular series Death Wish. Bronson played Paul Kersey, a man whose wife is murdered and whose daughter ra

The security community has bombarded the media with fascinating claims of gloom and doom. (I’m guilty of it, too.) The hype hasn’t entirely met the hyperbole. There have been no major catastrophic issues. The power hasn’t gone out, and data breaches haven’t occurred in the 3-15 million PCs that have been compromised by Conficker. But that doesn’t

Conficker has updated to what is believed to be keylogging software. Conficker's botnet, which includes anywhere from 3 to 15 million PCs, has a peer to peer (P2P) feature that allows each PC on the network to talk to one another. Each PC has the ability to become the command server. This characteristic allows Conficker to fluidly update each PC

A new threat is emerging - and it is one with a modest risk of occurrence but a potentially dramatic impact. That impact may not disrupt an entire business or an entire building. It may, however, disable a mission critical business process. This new threat is a consequence of the changes in economic outlook facing most businesses. In recent months,...

News reaches me that banks and other financial institutions are now hiring seasoned bankers, on the grounds that these experienced resources will have the necessary gravitas and industry knowledge to run the banks of tomorrow in the way that they should probably have always been run. And this surely is a good thing. Good to see the greybeards bein...
