How businesses should deal with law enforcement was a topic of discussion at INT Media Group's recent E-Security Conference and Expo in Vienna, Va. In separate sessions, attendees heard from David Green, principal deputy chief of the Department of Justice Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS), and Bryan Palma, a special agent with the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force. Both speakers explained how industry and law enforcement can work together to stem computer crime. Green succeeded in bringing humor to this serious subject, such as when he lamented the challenges the DOJ faces in prosecuting and sentencing perpetrators of computer crimes, many of whom turn out to be 14 or 15 years old. "We're looking at grounding as an alternative sentence," he said. And in talking about insider attacks, he said, "A very low percentage of these insider attacks come from gruntled ex-employees; they're always disgruntled."
