Security firms show united front

A joint system for reporting and grading security vulnerabilities is going to be launched today. With an eye to guiding companies on which software problems to patch first, Cisco, Symantec and Qualys plan to launch a joint grading system for security vulnerabilities. The ratings will consist of three numbers, Gerhard Eschelbeck, the chief technology officer at security information provider Qualys said on Tuesday. The first will be a baseline estimate of the severity of the flaw. The second will rate the bug depending on how long it has been around, and therefore how likely it is that companies have patched against it.

Cyber front has favorable bytes

In a post-9/11 world, even the computers that run the Olympics have color-coded warnings for threats. "Green is good. Red is very bad," says Jean Chevallier, executive vice president of Atos Origin, Paris-based head of the Games' $400 million information system.

Hacking the planet

In the truest sense, hacking is not an act; rather, it is a viewpoint, a set of tools for thinking about how to interact with systems. The late Judith Milhon, one of the first female hackers ever, defined hacking as "the clever circumvention of imposed limits." The early hackers at MIT and Stanford had limited access to the huge, expensive mainframes on which they worked, and so they devised clever and exotic ways both to gain more time and make their programming time more efficient. . . .
