Jericho Forum
Presenting Corporate Security Blueprint At InfoSecurity
Conference
Chief information security officers from some of the
world's biggest companies say the tools they've been getting out of the
high-tech industry aren't good enough. They say they've been having a
hard time protecting their companies and keeping them open for business
on the Web.
So they banded together and founded the Jericho Forum, named after the
Battle of Jericho, where the Israelites blew their trumpets and made the
city walls fall down. Those walls, like many corporate security
perimeters, look like "Swiss cheese," Paul Simmonds, the forum's
chairman told Baseline magazine.
The Jericho Forum may become better known when it presents a blueprint
for a corporate security architecture, along with guidelines for
designing it, at the InfoSecurity conference in New York City, running
today and tomorrow (Sept. 11 and 12) at the Jacob Javits Convention
Center.

Plan To Increase Spending On Network Security
Cisco has released a set of results from an additional
international study examining mobile workers' security behavior with
regard to corporate security and its impact on businesses. The study
reveals widespread plans to increase security spending by as much as 20
percent next year to protect expanding wireless networks and the growing
numbers of mobile employees who access them.
The latest research builds on findings released earlier this month
spotlighting the growing trend of mobile employees and how their
security behavior can heighten risks for businesses' IT organizations as
they connect to corporate networks and carry sensitive information
outside office walls. While the previous findings involve more than 700
mobile employees in seven countries where wireless and mobility
technologies are widely adopted, the additional recent findings reveal
spending plans and business drivers for more than 700 IT decision makers
who work in those same nations: the United States, United Kingdom,
Germany, China, India, South Korea and Singapore.

Natural
Disaster Preparedness Survey Spurs Scary Results For
Atlanta
The threats of devastating natural disasters such as
hurricanes, terrorist attacks and other manmade calamities have prompted
more U.S. businesses to prepare for disaster. But a survey taken by AT&T
Inc. of local executives indicates that many businesses in Atlanta
remain vulnerable. The survey of 100 local information technology (IT)
executives found that the Atlanta business community scored in the lower
half of U.S. cities surveyed for disaster preparedness, with nearly
one-third of respondents saying business continuity is not a priority.
"Tornadoes, floods, fires, blackouts and manmade disasters such as
cyberattacks can all have devastating consequences, but having a plan in
place can minimize the impact of a disaster," says Phil Jacobs,
president, Business Communications Services, AT&T Southeast. "In Atlanta
and throughout the Southeast, AT&T offers companies a wide range of
defenses to protect networks from intrusion by viruses and hackers as
well as ensure remote backup and secure data storage for businesses of
all sizes."
