Hmm John Carr ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Study: Hold Vendors Liable for Security Breaches A new report issued Tuesday by the National Academy of Sciences adds yet another voice to the chorus warning that the nation's information systems are poorly protected. http://extreme.ziffdavis.com/cgi-bin10/flo?y=eNsp0DXtkO0FBc0dwT0A7 <SNIP> The report concludes that much of the blame for the sorry state of security in corporate and government networks belongs to administrators and CIOs who fail to implement readily available technologies such as firewalls and intrusion-detection systems or follow industry best practices. <SNIP> In addition to shouldering some of the blame for security breaches, the authors recommend that vendors develop better security interfaces for their products to simplify administration and conduct better testing of their products for security vulnerabilities. ______________________________________________ This message is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential material.
