The Evolving Role of Application Security in Enterprise Protection

Spoiler alert: If application security isn't dead yet, its days are numbered. OK, this is an over-exaggeration, but fear not, application security engineers — the work you do is actually becoming more important than ever, and your budget will soon reflect this. Application security will never die, but it will have to morph to succeed. . Application security has been around for well over 15 years as a subset of enterprise security. Since the early 2000s, application security experts have made a great living assessing websites and selling application penetration tests. . Software protection becomes crucial within corporate security frameworks, highlighting the escalating significance of this domain.. Application Security, Enterprise Protection, Risk Assessment. .

Reflecting on Dial-Up Hacking's Lasting Impact in Infosec

The last day of Infosec brought nostalgia for the old days of hacking. Robert Schifreen, the ex-hacker and author famous for breaking into Prince Phillips' Prestel account 20 odd years ago, recalled a more innocent age during his stint chairing a hackers panel. "You didn't have flat rate hacking before the internet. It was all dial-up and hacking attacks tending to occur after 6pm when cheap rate began. At that time, admins were back watching Neighbours or the Magic Roundabout." . The link for this article located at TheRegister.co.uk is no longer available. .

A Comprehensive Look at Anomaly Detection and Network Security Evolution

"To some, our observations can be summarized succinctly as "bugs happen". That certainly is not news. But dismissing our results so cavalierly misses. . .. "To some, our observations can be summarized succinctly as "bugs happen". That certainly is not news. But dismissing our results so cavalierly misses the point. Yes, bugs happen. But bugs can be fixed -if they are detected. The Internet is, as a whole, working remarkably well. Huge software packages (i.e., X11R5) can be distributed electronically. Connections span the globe. But the very success of the Internet makes some bugs invisible." - Steven Bellovin [1] This excerpt, from the well-known 1993 report Packets Found on an Internet, was written nearly nine years ago. As we all know, times have changed. Today, such "bugs", are likely part of an attempt to breach network security. The investigation of strange packets, the cited paper's topic, is now quite common. We know it as intrusion detection. In the past few years, intrusion detection systems have joined firewalls as the fundamental technologies driving network security. In the near future, a third component will emerge - anomaly detection. The link for this article located at Security Focus is no longer available. .
