    On Saturday night, the city of London experienced yet another tragic attack, apparently carried out in the name of terror. The city’s second in two months, and England’s third – the terrible bombing in Manchester just two weeks ago, has already led to numerous statements of solidarity and support from (most) leaders around the world.

In that battle, it’s a virtual guarantee that the British or U.S. government will resume its call for technology companies be able to decrypt any data or communications within their ecosystem, purportedly in the name of fighting terrorism, on demand.

    Whether it starts now, or as a result of a tragedy yet to come, the new war on encryption is about to begin. (more…)

    • How NIST Made Me Excited About New Password Rules

    NIST

    I’m going to go ahead and say it: I’m Pumped! About something in the NEWS!

    How has your recent news feed looked? A bit dismal, if you’re anything like me. There’s the whole “we prefer the frog-in-a-boiling pot method of extinction” thing coming from the White House. Well, and then there’s everything else coming from the White House.

    It can all seem like it’s too much. We’ve got a government deliberately ignoring science, publishing a budget that cuts the estate tax – but relies on its revenue continuing because… rich dead people are generous? Oh, and then there’s the whole double counting thing. (But don’t worry, Mick Mulvaney now says it was on purpose.) Fortunately for us all, there’s great news. It’s about… passwords!

    Who would have ever expected that good news in the “reality and practical experience” matters arena would come from password guidelines? Yeah, me neither. And yet, we have the outlines of the new recommendations from the National Institute on Standards and Technology (“NIST”). Even more importantly, it turns out I was totally right! Totally!

    • What You Need to Learn from the Biggest Cyber Attack in History

    cyber attack

    Last weekend, a virus called “WannaCry” swept through Asia, Africa, and Europe, encrypting the data of thousands of individuals and businesses. Although it demanded a ransom that, if paid, promised the user access to encrypted data, few paid the ransom, and many who did never regained access to their data. It was the largest ransomware attack ever, even though it was stopped before it impacted much in the United States.

    Since the attack, I have read numerous security posts about why this attack is just more proof that people and businesses should adopt the security measures those writers had previously published. While I agree with (most) of those posts, I think that the unprecedented nature of this attack creates a different opportunity – to discuss some fundamental lessons that every business owner needs to accept as the modern reality.

    Here are Six Lessons You Need to Learn from the WannaCry Cyber Attack: (more…)
