Study Reveals
Insight for Mobile Wireless User Protection
A global third-party study commissioned by Cisco
Systems Inc. and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) reveals
behavioral findings among mobile wireless workers that spotlight the
human side of security, as businesses and IT organizations empower more
and more employees to remain connected outside of their offices.
Conducted this spring by InsightExpress, an independent market research
firm, the study explores what is at stake for businesses striving to
become mobile, and, therefore, more agile and efficient. It reveals
findings gleaned from more than 700 mobile employees in seven countries
that have adopted wireless technologies widely: the United States,
United Kingdom, Germany, China, India, South Korea and Singapore.

Colleges Plan
For Security As School Starts
As colleges welcome back students for another academic
year, they'll also be putting some new security measures in place --
some high-tech, some old-fashioned.
In the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings in April, college officials
everywhere fielded calls from parents and students, reviewed emergency
plans and systems, and added new tools to improve campus safety, reports
the Spokesman-Review.
The most common approach seems to be two-pronged: a combination of siren
or speaker systems and new text-messaging networks. That combination is
in place at Washington State University (WSU), and it's on the way at
Whitworth University, Spokane, Wash.

Biometric
Software Secures Credit Card Purchases
Trying to remember dozens of Personal Identification
Numbers (PINs), passwords and credit card numbers could soon become a
thing of the past, thanks to a unique face recognition software
developed by a University of Houston (UG) research team, reports the
Hindustan Times.
The software uses a 3-D dimensional snapshot of a person's face to
create a unique identifier or biometric.
The software development team, led by Eckhard Pfeiffer Professor Ioannis
Kakadiaris at the Computational Biomedicine Lab (CBL), says URxD could
be used for everything from gaining access to secure facilities to
authorizing credit card purchases.

Business
Management Botching Access Control, Survey Says
Polled about their organization's approaches to
identity and access management, audit and compliance professionals in
industry and government expressed a high level of frustration with how
their IT and business management units are managing IAM.
Almost half (45 percent) of the 845 respondents questioned by the
Ponemon Institute for the research study released today said their own
organization does not effectively focus its IAM policies and controls on
areas of business risk.
The compliance professionals, 68 percent of whom said IAM products were
in use in their organizations, also expressed frustration that IT and
business management groups weren't collaborating well in deploying IAM.
