Ever since businesses began to offer Wi-Fi access to customers, experts have warned that open hotspots are not secure. Open Wi-Fi hotspots don’t ask a user for a password, so most data ferrying between users’ devices and the access point(s) are not encrypted.

These are all things that we all know, right? … More → Continue reading A rogue access point at RSA Conference? Here’s what happened→

RSA Conference 2016: The infosec glass house?

Posted on by

A couple of years late to the party, but I finally made it to San Francisco with a real sense of excitement to attend what was described to me as the “Super Bowl of the Security Industry.” Working with the analogy, there certainly were plenty of cheerleaders waving their pompoms for companies all claiming to do threat intelligence, and of course let us not forget machine learning.

Other vendors are taking the approach to “encrypt data everywhere.” I think we need a broad combination of a few key approaches. Increasing regulatory compliance requirements … More → Continue reading My reflections after visiting RSA Conference 2016→
