IBM's X-Force 2009 Trend and Risk report shows an 11 per cent drop in discovered vulnerabilities compared to 2008, including a decline in the largest categories like SQL Injections and ActiveX. SQL Injection gained a lot of popularity as "proverbial flavour of the month," and was subsequently exploited to the point that there were few who didn't know what it was, said Nick Bradley, manager with IBM's managed security services intelligence centre. "Now the awareness has saturated the industry. More are actively looking to protect against it," said Bradley. The 11 per cent decline in vulnerabilities is "really a drop in the bucket" in terms of the overall number of vulnerabilities, noted Bradley. Some contributing factors, he said, could be the retirement of two of the most "prolific discoverers of vulnerabilities" -- r0t and rgod -- and the disappearance of a well-known site for vulnerability publication, milw0rm. That aside, Bradley acknowledges the increased awareness among software vendors regarding the value of security in the products they build. The report also found a significant increase in attacks using obfuscation, often launched using automated exploit toolkits, to hide from security software. Since security awareness goes both ways, Bradley said it's natural that malware creators will strive to exploit the very same vulnerabilities that the security industry tries to stop. "It's like a game of cyber cat and mouse, now tha ...

While cloud computing is merely a label given to the latest evolution of what organizations have been doing for a long time, one consistent component in the cloud has been Linux, said Jim Elliott, IBM Canada Ltd.'s Linux champion. "Linux is the past, present and future," said Elliott to an audience of IT pros during a ComputerWorld Canada Tech Insights event entitled The Linux-Powered Cloud. Low-cost Linux-based systems were what dot.com-era startups in the late 1990s were built on, said Elliott. Today, Linux is the dominant cloud computing operating system with large and well-known public cloud infrastructures like Google and Amazon using Linux, he said. And, in the future, the role of Linux isn't changing, said Elliott: "Linux will be the cloud's future." The benefits of Linux, said Elliott, include the ability to scale across the smallest to largest of systems, available patch management and security software, attractive licensing costs and terms, and the extensive application and partner ecosystem. While Elliott believes Linux is the ideal choice for cloud computing, he said any operating system will work because it's really just a matter of making applications available. Elliott breaks down cloud computing into three essential components. One, virtualization allows resources to be shared in a dynamic fashion. Two, standardization lets systems in a heterogeneous environment communicate. Third, automation to manage the plethora o ...

Ponemon Consumer Trust Study Ranks IBM #2 Overall ARMONK, N.Y., - IBM ( NYSE: IBM ) is trusted by U.S. consumers more than any other IT company when it comes to securing and protecting the privacy of their personal information, according to a survey from privacy and information management research firm Ponemon Institute. IBM was ranked #2 overall and was the top-rated IT company in Ponemon's annual Most Trusted Companies for Privacy study. This is the third consecutive year that consumers recognized IBM at the most trusted IT company. "We are honored to be recognized by consumers as the most trusted business-to-business company in Ponemon Institute's survey," said Harriet Pearson, vice president, Security Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer at IBM. "As data rapidly moves from the desktop to the cloud, consumers are more aware and concerned than ever about the security and privacy of their personal and sensitive information. IBMers worldwide are committed to delivering trusted and secure technologies, services and solutions that protect the privacy of our clients' most valuable and critical assets and operations." In addition to ranking the most trusted companies, the Ponemon study reported that only 41 percent of consumers feel they have control over their personal information, down from 45 last year and an overall drop from 56 percent in 2006. The survey also noted that identity theft is a top area of concern among consumers with fif ...
