		<description><![CDATA[The latest research from the Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) has again highlighted end user concerns over migrating to a Cloud service model. The research conducted in December 2011 highlighted that widely held view that many organisations cite their number one concern, namely the mitigation of risk, when committing data to the Cloud. According to Simplexo, a member of CIF and UK search specialist, it’s time to focus the issue of security, if the Cloud is factually going to be something meaningful in everyday computing life, and stop focusing on the fear, uncertainty and doubt. Simon Bain, CTO, at Simplexo, states: “CIF conducted a highly detailed survey into user adoption levels and trends. When asked to name the most significant concerns about Cloud adoption, users were clear that data security and privacy stood out above all others at 62 per cent and 55 per cent respectively.” “I am obviously a believer in using the ‘Cloud’ as a way forward for both personal and corporate life. However, there are certain guidelines that I think need to be adhered to before we all start throwing our hard disks away and placing everything in to the hands of others.” “Let’s be clear – Clouds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[National governments, including those in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia, are promoting legislation to protect children from pornography and other unsuitable Web content. The ability for mobile device users, many of whom are minors, to freely access the Web, has made this an especially critical issue for telecom operators. If implemented, legislation would require operators to actively block undesirable content and make certain types of content available only if users opt-in to receive it. However, compliance with such laws could be challenging for operators, since Web pages and their content are constantly changing, and new sites are registered daily. In addition, some sites, particularly those with user-generated content (blogs, social networking sites, etc.), may contain a mixture of family-friendly and inappropriate content. The Mobixell/Commtouch solution solves this problem, enabling telecom operators to block access to Web sites deemed unfit for children and comply with even the strictest child protection regulation. Content categorization from Commtouch is available as a module of the Mobixell Seamless Access Mobile Internet Gateway which enables telecom operators to manage complex content delivery policies, offering a variety of opt-in user protection services, including parental control, real-time rating and content verification. “As the use of mobile devices [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. INTRODUCTION How to use the Internet while staying secure has always been a concern for businesses. Over the last couple of years there have been many changes in the Internet threat scenario. Most notably there has been a significant increase in the ‘access anywhere/anytime culture’ with a growth in social networking, a move to convergence solutions such as VoIP, a major increase in smartphone use, a growth in cloud computing, plus the ‘consumerisation’ of systems (i.e. the use of personal devices for company data). 2. OVERVIEW OF INTERNET THREATS. The range of security threats includes * Malicious threats, such as viruses and other malware * Fraud threats such as phishing emails, spyware and toll fraud * Unauthorised access from hacking, data leakage, botnets, unsecured wireless, and user name/password insecurity, etc. * Operational threats, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, attacks on VoIP, the failure of cloud computing suppliers to secure your network, or security risks from remote workers. * Newer threats such as social networking insecurity, web application threats, smartphone insecurity and poor security for converged voice/data applications on the network 3. HOW TO PROTECT AGAINST INTERNET THREATS The basics that companies need to protect themselves in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[June was a difficult time for cybercriminals as it saw some notable successes for various law enforcement agencies in the war on cybercrime, according to the latest malware report from Kaspersky Lab. In the US, the activities of two international cybercrime groups that made money from fake antivirus programs were terminated. According to preliminary estimates, the damage caused by the groups amounted to $74 million. In addition to US agencies, the operation to shut down these groups involved law enforcement agencies from another 11 countries. About 600 people suspected of implementing fraudulent online schemes were arrested in several Southeast Asian countries. In June, cybercriminals used Amazon’s cloud to host and distribute malware that targeted Brazilian users and was designed to steal data from customers of nine Brazilian banks. To improve its chances of success, the malware blocked the normal operation of AV programs and special plug-ins that are supposed to make online banking secure. The malware also stole digital certificates and Microsoft Live Messenger credentials. Russian scammers tried their luck at making money for nothing in June using the BitCoins virtual money system. With the help of new malicious programs they launched a legitimate BitCoins file on the victim computer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cyber criminals have capitalised on the recent growth in popularity of the Android mobile platform. Based on the number of new mobile malware signatures detected during this period, Kaspersky Lab’s experts believe that the total volume of mobile malware in 2011 will be at least double that of 2010. That growth will be driven by the emergence of new methods of infecting users’ computers. For instance, over 50 malicious Android OS applications were detected in Q1 that were written by cybercriminals and distributed via the Android Market. These malicious programs are re-packaged versions of legal software alongside malicious Trojan components. Kaspersky Lab’s experts predict that the number of embedded malicious programs distributed via online app stores will keep increasing in the future. Firstly, a developer’s account is cheap and secondly, checking the code of newly published applications is highly labour-intensive and difficult to automate. The situation concerning mobile threats is further complicated by the fact that personal smartphones are increasingly used to store and send confidential corporate information. At the same time, company employees tend to underestimate the importance of protecting data stored on such devices. Furthermore, smartphones are likely to be widely adopted as ‘mobile wallets’ in the near [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“The Internet is quickly moving to adopt a new technology for the underlying networking used to track nodes on the network and communicate. However, the introduction of the IPv6 scheme could have a far reaching impact on spam security. As an example, the primary method for stopping the majority of spam used by email providers is to track bad IP addresses sending email and block them &#8211; a process known as IP Blacklisting. With IPv6 this technique will no longer be possible and could mean that email systems would quickly become overloaded if new approaches are not developed to address this. This is one example, but there are other examples across the web. “IPv6 has been designed to have a massive amount more IP addresses available than IPv4. We are talking 3.4 x 10^38 compared to 4.3 billion (4.3 x 10^9). Fundamentally, this presents serious difficulties in tracking all of the IPs for any purpose-email sender reputation, denial of service, sources used for malicious sign ups to websites, sources of click fraud attacks, influencing of search engine results, and many other scenarios. “As an example, the address space is so large that it would be easy for spammers to use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Archiving emails has become as important to businesses as filing copies of letters used to be, and businesses must ensure that their email archives are secured, according to a new guide to email archiving by managed security company, Redscan. The responsibility on companies to be able to store, interrogate and retrieve data in order to comply with regulation, and to protect their business, has never been greater. ‘A guide to archiving emails, for IT managers’ assesses the pros and cons of archiving on site or in the cloud &#8211; including cost, robustness of service and security; and sets out the essentials of a good email archiving service. These include issues such as: scalability of service; security, including access authentication; replication of emails across different geographic locations; local data laws; backup facilities; ease of interrogation and retrieval; and encryption. Simon Heron, Internet Security Analyst, Redscan says: “We know that financial organisations have to be able to access data, including emails, for compliance reasons. But businesses are waking up to the fact that keeping email trails is as important as filing the written letter used to be. Our guide to archiving is designed to help IT managers assess which archiving option is [...]]]></description>
