The Cyber Security Industry Alliance (CSIA), of which RSA Security is a founding board member, released a report today entitled “National Agenda for Information Security in 2006 (pdf)“.
The CSIA report rates the progress — or lack thereof — made by the federal government on a number of policy priorities that were highlighted in December 2004 by the Alliance as important for protecting critical information infrastructure and the national economy. In a 2005 assessment, the Administration and Congress scored a grade of D or below on 7 of the 12 recommendations that were made for this year, and earned a grade of C on four others.

Have you ever seen that movie, “The Perfect Storm,†starring George Clooney? Based on a true story, it highlights the fateful journey of a fishing boat crew that tried to ride out a major storm in the Atlantic Ocean, eventually succumbing to waves the size of skyscrapers. As portrayed in the movie, sadly, the tragedy may have been avoided had the crew heeded warnings about the storm or turned the ship in the right direction as the “perfect storm†was being unleashed.
Well, I can’t help but think of the this movie when I look at the past year of wide-scale breach notifications, increases in online fraud and account hijacking and the seemingly endless stream of online threats, including ongoing challenges such as phishing and pharming.

People make mistakes — it is that simple. Even good people make mistakes.
The entire software development process used in most serious organisations is built around the principle that mistakes will happen. Reviews of designs, reviews of code, and the testing of products are all based on the assumption that people make mistakes.
Very few organisations develop with 100% test coverage because the overheads generally are not a good trade off to make in terms of investment. Complete test coverage is difficult — and requires a substantial investment that doesn’t directly generate revenue…

As more and more transactions move online, in terms of both volume and value, the whole area of authentication is rapidly becoming multi-faceted, sophisticated, and valuable. Tokens will perform an important role, particularly for high-value corporate access solutions for example, for many years to come, but we are entering into a new age, where balanced approaches to risk, and the application of appropriate and cost-effective responses will account for the huge majority of web-based transactions.
