Financial markets regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), has started looking for an external firm to conduct counter-surveillance activities across its information and communications technology systems.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission will be hard pressed sourcing a single company for technical counter-surveillance activities, says a local counter-intelligence professional.
Two researchers in Sweden have found multiple flaws in the TCP stack that could lead to massive denial-of-service attacks if exploited. At present there is no workaround and there are no patches available.
It's not very often that a company gets hacked and then agrees to talk about the incident, so when the finance director of a Sydney-based firm asked if I would be interested in writing a story about a security breach that cost him AU$9,000, I grabbed the opportunity.
Banks obviously have an interest in making consumers feel safe. They are there to protect the customers' money. They want customers to use their online services, too, because the channel offers a lower cost per transaction than a branch. But giving away free security software to make customers feel safe is probably doing more harm than good.
Macs are banned from many government departments because there aren't any 'approved' applications to encrypt them. So why doesn't Apple CEO Steve Jobs do something about it?
Today, Symantec released Norton 360 Version 2.0, but I wonder whether the security giant has learned from its past mistakes?
Sony has once again been outed for putting its customers at risk from attack by creating software that could help criminals hide malware on a PC.
Borland chief strategy officer Ted Shelton provides penetrating insight on .Net, Java, Web services, and today's controversies over standards in Part 1 of this interview.
Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks. We take you on a tour.
When chief information officers and other technology managers talk about their priorities, security is always high on the list.
It is quickly becoming the norm for Australia's largest banks to offer discounts on or completely free computer security software to boost internet banking security. The question is, why?

ZDNet.com.au's Matt Oxley takes you behind the scenes at Australia's largest security conference. Find out why Microsoft's head of product security was afraid of being arrested, watch delegates swing at sheep on the driving range and discover who thinks security is like being chased by a bear or is it a dog?
Welcome to the CIO Vision Series and congratulations to Cesare Tizi, who was awarded the ZDNet Australia CIO of the Year award for 2007. Tizi was recognised for the work he did while successfully leading Australia's largest energy supplier, AGL Energy, through a period of intense change.
ZDNet Australia meets with Michael Harte, CIO of the Commonwealth Bank to find out his views on security and sourcing (both out- and open-).
With millions of customers at AGL paying by credit card, Cesare Tizi, ZDNet Australia CIO of the Year 2007, explains the importance of security and why outsourcing it is a bad idea. Tizi also talks about why Australia should implement stringent data disclosure laws.

ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7 offers a balance between best-of-breed security protection and ease of use, providing the home user with superior protection that's light on system resources.
Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioral monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.
Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.
