Imperva voices opinion on ACS:Law, the anti-privacy law firm data breach

Enter: Amichai Shulman, CTO of Imperva:

“This is the latest in a series of attacks against ACS: law. It started last a couple of weeks ago with a Distributed Denial of Service (DDos) attack against them, as well as a site defacement. And now their email database has been published online. In general we've seen cases where the victim was a DDoS target, only to later find that the attackers were really using the DDoS as a diversion to help with the real goal – data theft. However, I don't think this was the case here. Hackers had one point in mind - to cripple the services of the law firm, to disrupt business services and cause humiliation.

Negotiating through the security minefield on a budget

In this article, Mr Heard offers advice on keeping your data from haemorrhaging at a time when your budgets can’t!

It has been a testing time for economies around the globe and, although many countries seem to be recovering, there are many voices warning of a double-dip recession. It is therefore unsurprising that financial directors are employing caution and continuing to grip the corporate purse strings tightly, limiting spending to the ‘bare minimum’. Unfortunately this scenario leaves many CISOs with the unenviable task of securing data whilst under the pressure of constrained budgets. Result: a time bomb waiting to go off and, if you listen carefully, you can hear it ticking.

Public hacking of new German ID card blames on failure to build security into system at initial stages

The public hacking of the German national ID card system - which is due to be phased in from next month, November onwards - is almost certainly down to a failure of security being added as an afterthought, rather than integrated from the earliest stages of the development process, Fortify Software has said.
