I'll generally ignore the internet froth in a given week as much as possible, but when Her Majesty's Government starts repeating misunderstandings about TLS 1.3 it is necessary to write something, if only to have a pointer ready for when people start citing it as evidence. The first misunderstanding in the piece is the claim that it's possible for man-in-the-middle proxies to selectively proxy TLS 1.2 connections, but not TLS 1.3 connections because the latter encrypts certificates.

Part 1 of this post showed you how color-coding works and whom it benefits. We also made the business case for color-coding by demonstrating how it leads to more efficient records retrieval, retention and disposition; improved decision-making; less operational down time; fewer lost opportunities; and minimized risk of legal sanctions. In this blog, we focus on how color-coding improves your records privacy and information security, as well as your space management.

The year was 1994 and I had the fortunate opportunity to stumble upon a company – Cygnus Support – that was “selling free software.” I remember telling my mom that I was Vice President of Sales & Marketing of a company that was selling free software. After a very long pause, she replied, “Is your resume up to date?”. Cygnus Support sold support contracts and custom consulting projects for GNU development tools (gcc, g++, gdb) to companies looking to accelerate their time-to-market in the emb

Introduction. Predictions of, and calls for, the end of passwords have been ringing through the press for many years now. The first instance of this that Google can find is from Bill Gates in 2004 , although I suspect it wasn’t the first. None the less, the experience of most people is that passwords remain a central, albeit frustrating, feature of their online lives.

The “hot hand,” a metaphor applied frequently to the game of basketball, is the idea that a basketball shooter, after making several consecutive shots, will experience a higher than normal success rate on his or her ensuing shots.

Phishing has been used as a way for criminal hackers to gain sensitive information since the mid-1990s. It uses deceptive emails and websites to trick victims into clicking malicious links, downloading attachments or sending sensitive information. Phishing emails can impersonate well-known brands or even people you know, such as colleagues. The goal is to trick the recipient into believing that the message is important and convince them to click a malicious link/attachment or provide sensitive d

The penny first dropped for me just over 7 years ago to the day: The only secure password is the one you can't remember. In an era well before the birth of Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), I was doing a bunch of password analysis on data breaches and wouldn't you know it - people are terrible at creating passwords! Of course, we all know that but it's interesting to look back on that post all these years later and realise that unfortunately, nothing has really changed.

Data encryption has been around almost since the age of computers. In truth, anyone with minimal experience can write a simple script that uses default services built into virtually every OS to encrypt data. In Linux, for instance, it takes four openSSL commands to generate an encryption key and encrypt data. However, simply encrypting data is not a sufficient control when storing data in the cloud.

In the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, news articles and commentators have focused on what Facebook knows about us. A lot, it turns out. It collects data from our posts, our likes, our photos , things we type and delete without posting, and things we do while not on Facebook and even when we're offline. It buys data about us from others. And it can infer even more: our sexual orientation, political beliefs, relationship status, drug use, and other personality traits -- even if we didn't
