Survey finds hybrid cloud security growing pains

Posted on November 7, 2017 by George V. Hulme

There’s no doubt that enterprises are embracing cloud computing, but not-so-surprising that enterprises repeatedly say that they need heightened visibility and security management capabilities so they can more effectively deploy applications, defend against cyberattacks, and mitigate regulatory compliance risks, a recent survey found.

FDA Seeks Secure Medical Device Development Lifecycle

Posted on November 6, 2017 by George V. Hulme

Business Insights readers are certainly well aware of the sorry state of connected medical device security. We’ve covered it in posts such as St. Jude Takes Steps to Secure Vulnerable Medical Implants and U.S. DHS and FDA Face Medical Device Security Woes. In the later post we covered how the FDA is working to foster a culture of continuous quality improvement.

No Mr. Equifax CEO, You Don’t Get to Blame One “IT Guy” for Your Breach

Posted on October 17, 2017 by George V. Hulme

Don’t blame former Equifax CEO Richard Smith that 145.5 million U.S. consumers had their most sensitive credit information stolen under his watch, or that just over 15 million in the U.K. suffered the same fate. It really wasn’t his fault. To some credit, in prepared testimony, when Mr. Smith recently went to Washington he did..

The rising security risk of the citizen developer

Posted on April 17, 2017 by George V. Hulme

While shadow IT was always a challenge for enterprise IT teams, it rapidly started to accelerate with the growth of the smartphone, and then cloud computing with the incredible expansion of public cloud infrastructure and software as a service offerings that made it as easy as providing a credit card to access a cloud service. Today, shadow IT has spread beyond smartphones, tablets, and cloud services and is rapidly extending into the domain of the enterprise developer.

The trend could create profound risks for enterprise security teams if these shadow, or citizen, developers, aren’t reined.

What makes a good application pen test? Metrics

Posted on April 4, 2017 by George V. Hulme

When it comes to creating secure applications, nothing beats focusing on the basics: secure coding in development and then testing the application for security defects. Part of the testing regime should always include an in-depth application pen test. But how do organizations know they are getting the full benefit from such assessments?

What goes (or should go) into developing application security is well known. Developers should have their code vetted in their development environment. Their code should go through a series of quality and security tests in the development pipeline. Applications should be vetted again right after deployment. And, after all of that, it’s very likely that more vulnerabilities exist in the application that have yet to be uncovered.
