		<description><![CDATA[Information security does not need to be complicated in order to be robust, nor does simplicity equate to an inferior defence. So, have you been mis-sold security? A lot of the hyperbole stemming from many info security vendors suggests that, in order to be secure, you’ll need to re-mortgage your company premises to upgrade to the biggest, shiniest IT security infrastructure. The simple fact of the matter is that securing business-critical information, be it customer details, financial records or strategic data, boils down to one thing – access. Aside from the technological argument, an equally important consideration to make when strengthening IT security is cost. Because IT security has no measurable ROI, with cost justifications made instead on the ability to avoid losing money or damaging reputation, prudence is desirable when making a security investment. I for one would argue that almost all security threats could be averted with only three things; antivirus software, a firewall and some form of two-factor authentication, the latter being the most critical because if you can retain control over access you are, by default, secure. This is why the continued use of static passwords as the last bastion of information security, and the final [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As fraudsters continually educate themselves on ways to circumvent many traditional anti-fraud systems and establish more elaborate crime rings, banks and merchants alike need to be aware of what else they can be doing to find the right balance of security and ease-of-use in their customer transactions. Ori Eisen, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at The 41st Parameter, shows ten ways in which organisations can boost their anti-fraud techniques. There are many possible lines of action that companies can take to detect more fraudulent transactions. Using a combination of multiple tactics is the most effective because it creates a complex net that fraudsters would have to negotiate. Here are ten of the key approaches to fighting fraud through your organisation: 1. Check for billing and shipping addressCheck if the billing and shipping addresses are different. In many cases the crook will send the good to another address than the billing address. Additionally, if a crook uses a &#8220;drop-shipment&#8221; address, you can spot that many orders are diverted to this address and place it on a negative list. 2. Increase device ID dataInstead of focusing on single data elements, such as the IP address, it is essential to construct a more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hot on the heels of our recent coverage about M&#38;S losing thousands of Employees personal data files, The Ministry of Defence was forced to admit yesterday that three laptop computers containing personal details of hundreds of thousands of military recruits are missing. None of the data on the laptops was encrypted, and contained details of passport data, National Insurance and driver&#8217;s licence numbers, family details and NHS numbers for about 153,000 people who applied to join the armed forces. Richard Farnworth, General Manager, Enterprise Solutions, NEC UK comments: “This latest announcement should certainly act as a wake up call to the Government and all holders of personal data. The security technology and processes currently in place clearly doesn’t protect against human error or malice, so the public sector needs to start following enterprise’s example for its security provisioning. “To negate such security losses, leaks and breaches in the future, the Government should explore virtualised computing solutions, that allow laptops to purely act as ‘dummy terminals’ where all the data is stored centrally. Therefore, if a laptop is lost or stolen, important data is not able to get into the wrong hands. “Another viable security solution for non-virtualised laptops and PCs [...]]]></description>
