Maintaining Online Privacy During the War on Terrorism (Nov 2001)
In the aftermath of the despicable terrorist attacks of September 11, the federal government moved quickly to propose legislation which would expand its authority to track certain types of information in connection with anti-terrorist investigations. Of course, in the Internet era, a major component of such expanded powers necessarily would relate to online activities. The prospect of increased monitoring quickly raises concerns among civil libertarians, businesses, and individuals alike. What will these mean for online business?

Virus Attacks Cost Organizations $17.1 Billion in 2000
Computer Economics has determined that the economic impact of virus attacks on information systems around the world amounted to $17.1 billion in 2000. Economic impact is comprised of the costs to clean viruses from networks, servers, and client systems; restore lost or damaged files; and the lost productivity of workers caused by system outages and downtime. The economic impact of virus attacks on information systems around the world amounted to $12.1 billion in 1999.

Anti-Virus Protection Not Used by PC Owners
Almost a quarter of home and office PC users running anti-virus software don't update it regularly, leaving themselves vulnerable to newly minted viruses, according to a June 2000 survey conducted by Central Command, a supplier of anti-virus software. This high awareness of computer viruses following outbreaks of the Chernobyl and Melissa virus and the LoveLetter worm (which disabled millions of PCs around the world) have obviously not translated into safer computing practices. The survey was the largest ever conducted on the topic and was emailed to nearly half a million PC users. It had 54,091 responses--a 16% response rate.

Apply Countermeasures to Protect IT Security Now (August 2002)
Many IT managers worry about the vulnerability of their systems, but their attempts to improve protection are often hampered by budgetary and administrative concerns. Any security measure will inconvenience users and the organization to some degree. Past ineffectiveness of protective applications often results in a cynical user community and a hard sell to management when attempts are made to add new security protection.

Emphasize Storage Management Over Storage Capacity (July 2002)
With disk storage only costing about 5 cents per megabyte, many IT managers fall into the trap of believing that increasing capacity is the economical way to go. These managers fail to realize that the management, operation, and maintenance of those disks will annually cost them 50 cents per megabyte or more.

Role-Based Access Control Offers Cost Savings (July 2002)
Access control is required within networks to manage the privileges, applications, and operations of legitimate users and to protect the integrity of information. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been investigating methods for improving access control of large networks since the early 1990s. Results of that research point toward ways in which network access can be more effectively and economically run.

Prudence Calls for Delaying Public Key Infrastructure Implementation (Jan 2002)
The events of September 11 and afterward have increased pressure on managers to provide better protection for IT systems and networks. One protective candidate that has received a lot of press over the last several years is public key infrastructure (PKI). PKI offers strong protection for information while at the same time providing reassurances that only authorized individuals participate in transactions. The potential of PKI is what keeps it perennially in the media's attention, but the unpleasant realities of using the technology remain a stumbling block.
