    What’s it going to take for police departments to secure their websites?

    Here's yet another story about a police department website being compromised by criminal hackers. When a regular citizen's home address is exposed, that's one thing. But when the addresses of police chiefs are published online, that opens up an entirely new set of risks for their personal safety. Sad. Hey, at least the police chiefs I know are armed and well-trained experts. Would be pretty foolish to try and attack ...

    Where’s your information security focus?

    You cannot change facts (i.e. the industry your business is in, the regulations it's up against, the type of sensitive information you're responsible for managing, etc.) but you can change problems (i.e. user behavior, wayward goals, management not on board with security, etc. ).As the philosopher James Burnham once said: "If there is no alternative, there is no problem." In the case of information security, there are tons of alternatives to ...

    You cannot multiple security by dividing it – Infosec’s relationship with Socialism

    I'm not much into urban legends and the like but came across this bit the other day and it really made me think.

    Evanta CISO event and why St. Jude’s has it right

    This week I had the opportunity and privilege to serve as a panelist on mobile security at the Evanta CISO Executive Summit in Atlanta. What a neat event...it wasn't just another infosec show.

Why? Well, for one thing, rogue insiders may just exploit it for ill-gotten gains. But even worse, low-hanging fruit can be the target of malware exploitations that you’re ...

“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.

His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment.
