		<description><![CDATA[I was recently reminded how easy one can become focused on a single, technical solution to a problem and completely miss process or people solutions.  With the pressure of a fast-paced environment and constantly changing priorities, technically oriented people will often fall back on their bread-and-butter to churn out a quick solution.  I&#8217;m guilty of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent eWeek article &#8220;Cyber-security Hurts Federal Government Productivity, Survey Says&#8221; clearly demonstrates the significant security issues related to perception and communication.   There seems to be a significant disconnect between what is thought to be needed to perform an agency&#8217;s mission and doing so without compromising computer systems. &#8220;Surveyed federal executives believe that cyber-security [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again I find myself liking White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt&#8217;s approach even if I think his position is weakened based on placement, authority, etc.  In a Bill Brenner article today on CSOonline, Schmidt points to the defense against the wide range of threats, including coordinated attacks, to be best lead from the private [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anti-virus software is based on signatures of known viruses.  It&#8217;s a reactive product by nature and it should be known by now that these products are ineffective against new viruses and new variants.    That said, why test AV products against attacks they haven&#8217;t seen and then make a stink about it in a ComputerWorld article?  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read an article &#8220;Basic security measures do wonders&#8221; and it drove home a point that seems to have been lost with the inundation of terms such as &#8220;CyberWar&#8221; and &#8220;Advanced Persistent Threat&#8221;.  While we spend a lot of time implementing new technologies or applying frameworks, we sometimes forget that applying basics and using [...]]]></description>
