3 Tips for Faster File System Auditing
How do you know who can access a folder with sensitive data in it? Who
authorized a user to have access permission to a file and how? If a key file was
deleted, how would you know it happened, or who did it? How do you make sure
that the right people have access to your data? Download the whitepaper to find
out how Varonis solutions answers these questions.

Twitter's own account caused blackout, says DNS provider
Hackers redirected Twitter.com's traffic to a rogue Web site for more than an
hour early today by accessing its DNS records using an account assigned to
Twitter, the company that manages Twitter's DNS servers said today.

Adobe explains PDF patch delay
Adobe chose to wait until mid-January to patch a critical PDF bug because

schedule, the company said today.

Security Manager's Journal: Not all patches are created equal
No all patches are for operating systems, and not all deserve the same priority.

Enterprise Innovation: Components of a quality patch management strategy
By Sonal Shah When most of us think about IT security, some of the more common
terms come to mind. Things like access, authorization, roles and identity. Those
of us who are not directly related to patch management often times fail to
remember that IT security also has to do with securing the infrastructure that
your organization operates on.

Michael Horowitz: Defensive Computing Priorities
Non-techies are too focused on antivirus software. This is a shame as there are
more important things they can do to protect themselves. This is my short list,
in priority sequence, of the most important defensive computing steps.

In this case, we're better off without privacy
Last week we learned that the Supreme Court is going to decide whether naughty
text messages sent by a cop via a taxpayer-funded pager deserved privacy
protection or were fair game for the police chief who discovered and disapproved
of them. The ruling is also expected to apply to private workplaces and various
communication devices such as phones and computers.

Looking back at Y2k
It's hard to believe, but we're coming up on Y2k's tenth anniversary. For a
feature article commemorating that nutty time, Computerworld is asking pilot
fish to share their stories of crazy user (or boss!) behavior. So tell us: in
the weeks and months leading up to Jan. 1, 2000, what were the wackiest, least
well-informed questions you fielded from the public at large?
