Automation key for time-poor security boffins
“The way in which IT departments have been approaching information security is flawed, according to Juniper Networks senior director and security architect Christopher Hoff, who said that security departments need to adopt automation to free up their time to think outside the box. Speaking to ZDNet Australia, and presenting at AusCERT 2012 earlier this week, Hoff said that security experts tend to only set up reactive plans on how they think systems might break, without taking into account the unpredictable ways in which complex systems of today actually do fail.”Every once in a while, we test certain things, but we test them as though you hit the first domino and every other domino hits the other one, and there's this linear sequence of events that happens,” he said.”What normally happens is chaos ensures people don't respond the same way, technology doesn't respond the same way you expect it to and so what ends up happening in complex distributed systems is you end up with complex distributed outcomes that aren't always predictable.”…”

Comment: Social media, national security and privacy
“If the government is mature enough to approach social media respectfully, it can use it to bolster national security.”I come from cyberspace,” Grateful Dead lyricist and cyberpioneer John Perry Barlow famously wrote 16 years ago, “the new home of Mind”. In his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace the “weary giants of flesh and steel” were warned to “leave us alone”. He added: “You are not welcome among us….”

Sheriff's office still recovering from hacker attack
“The Lake County Sheriff's Office public website is partially back up after hackers caused the department to shut it down in late April. Most of the site's information — such as contact numbers and details on its various bureaus, as well as some press releases on crimes — are back up but information on current and former inmates still isn't available. Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. James Vachon said it is not clear when the remaining areas of the website will be back up and that the department is working on safeguards to hinder any future hacking.”While I cannot discuss specifics of our security measures, I can tell you that our IT department is working day and night to review our security systems,” he said….”
US predicts major cyber attack
“We need to burn more witchesDefence chiefs in Washington have worked out that the best way to give more tax-payer money to their chums in the contracting industry is to whip up fear about a potential cyber attack. The US is a bit short of communists and witches these days. Even the only terrorists they can find are being incited by security forces to make daft attacks, so cyber attack is the best thing they can go for….”
