SHARES OF INTERNET SECURITY SOFTWARE MAKER PLUMMET
Shares of WatchGuard Technologies fell 32 percent after the maker of Internet-security software and hardware said that it would have a wider-than-expected loss this quarter as sales miss forecasts. Shares of the company, based in Seattle, fell $3.24 to $6.95. They have declined 78 percent this year. The company said it expected a loss of 23 cents to 29 cents a share this quarter. It was projected to have a loss of 4 cents, according to analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call. The company attributed the drop in sales to the weak economy and less demand for its more expensive products.

IBM in Washington DC with a law firm accusing Big Blue and an unknown employee of hacking into it and its clients’ email.
A remarkable case has started against IBM in Washington DC with a law firm accusing Big Blue and an unknown employee of hacking into it and its clients’ email. Butera & Andrews is a law firm based in DC, and the case is being brought under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Stored Communications Act and the Electronic Communication Privacy Act. The firm said in its allegation that an employee suspected last October or November that the email server, contracted out to Virginian firm Sierra Corporation, had been compromised.

Open source software security vulnerabilities
Security vulnerabilities in open source could mean that companies are opening their doors to viruses, software exploits and other problems that could adversely affect their businesses, users and customers, says the company.
It cites security expert John Viega: “The very things that can make open source programs secure – the availability of the source code, and the fact that large numbers of users are available to look for and fix security holes – can also lull people into a false sense of security.”
Rob Rachwald, director of product marketing at Fortify, says that in fact, the Open Source Vulnerability Database in 2006 showed more than 8,500 vulnerabilities. And the problem, he suggests, is that many open source communities do not utilise security experts, meaning that their security processes tend to be inadequate.
“Are these sufficient reasons to totally avoid open source software,” he asks? “No: the merits of open source usually outweigh the downsides, but the enterprise that blindly opens its doors to open source software without fully judging the security challenges is asking for trouble

BCS Consultancy event Cybercrime Forensics
Date/Time:
Wednesday 4th March 2009, 6.00pm for 6.15pm (ends 9.30pm).
Venue:
BCS London Office, First Floor, The Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street, London WC2E 7HA.
Speakers:
Peter Wood, Chief of Operations, First Base Technologies
Denis Edgar-Nevill, Head of the Department of Computing at Canterbury Christ Church University
PART 1
The new blended attack is social engineering plus technology. Criminal hacking is no longer a purely technical activity. Today organised crime uses every combination of technical, physical and human attacks to achieve its goals. Unless organisations understand how defend against attack on every front they will be hacked.
The approach of purchasing individual "silver bullet" solutions like firewalls, IDS and IPS must be replaced by an holistic view of security embracing technology, people and physical controls. Staff awareness of social engineering is particularly weak, leaving most organisations open to abuse both remotely and in person. Physical hacks such as key loggers and web cams are increasing, yet most organisations have no way to detect them. This presentation will open your mind to these new, blended attacks and offer ideas for defending against them.
PART 2
Part 2
Title: Cybercrime Forensics: Bringing together New Stakeholders to Tackle Computer Crime
Speaker: Denis Edgar-Nevill
Summary:
The problem of cybercrime has the potential to effect a greater number of people on Earth than any other form of criminal activity. The presentation will look at how Cybercrime Forensics has grown up as a new discipline bringing together specialists in police and law enforcement, computing, computer security, law, forensics, software/hardware development and business.
The British Computer Society has recognized its growth with the creation of the new national BCS Cybercrime Forensics SG which held its inaugural meeting in December 2008. The presentation will looking at the groups planned activities and how it can to bring together stakeholders to make a positive contribution addressing computer crime.

SPY + COMPUTER SPY SOFTWARE
Hi
i have just run tests on the new SPY+ Computer Spy software
and have to report how comprehensive i found it to be
------------
i first installed it in my own laptop , it took only seconds!
the interface is very user friendly and can allow the user to tweak its reporting
from 10 seconds to every hour
-------------
powerfull is an understatement when talking about this software
everything from colour screenshot, to login passwords is recorded
it will even send reports to your email address if you so wish
-------------
using 3 key stroke to enter and covert button to hide it could not be easier to use
-------------
and at a one off price not many can beat
oh yes and you are not limited to 1 machine it can be installed on as many as you wish...how about that! in this day and age when and software never mind spy software
is usually restricted to one licence only SPY+ software is a real rarity
here in the UK it is only available by download from
SURVEILLANCE ZONE One of the best spy equipment sites i've found.

newtork security budgets increasing worldwide
Compliance, data leakage and privacy issues, along with the need to tackle the fast evolving and sophisticated threat environment, are among the major drivers fuelling the growth of spending on security.
Cisco said that one of the main drivers behind the increase is financial losses from attacks on corporate networks and employees, including those who work outside the office.
The study suggests that risky behaviour from remote workers, such as opening suspicious emails, hijacking wireless networks or sharing corporate devices with non-employees, is much more extensive in China, India and Brazil than in nations with a longer history of corporate internet use.

SECURITY SOFTWARE REVIEW
Welcome to Security software review
on these pages i will endeavour to offer you a straightforward explanation of internet security software and computer security sofwtare together with thier strengths and weaknesses.
Firstly Newtork Security software protects corporate intranet and internet networks ( including wireless networks ) from malicious attacks from outside the nework itself
i.e. from hackers.
The systems work very well up to a point in that they will discourage the hobbyist hacker but they will not deter a criminal attackers who may be after lucrative information, such as credit card numbers , card payment packets, bank account details of staff e.t.c.
Some of the best network security software packages even attempt to hack the hackers system and also log i.p. addresses McAfee anti virus software Total protection 2009
actively blocks all these attacks and gives a thorough report to the user.
For user friendly platform combined with true security performance it cannot be beaten
