The Password Dilemma

I heard parts of this topic on the radio the other day and didn’t really understand the guy’s point since I only caught the tail end of the discussion until I read this article from the Boston Globe. In a nutshell, it challenges the notion of using and changing passwords as required by most organizations and as preached by security professionals. The research described in this article also challenges many of the security best-practices advocated by security experts and how they are actually a hindrance to shall we say, progress.

One thing that I’d like to point out though, it does not take a genius to create a strong password, which for all accounts and purposes there is no such thing. It gives as much protection as a locked door knob to your house. It gives you a layer of protection, but not the protection. Just like a door knob, it can help prevent casual intruders, but not those who are really intent in breaking in. But, I digress. Read more

    • HP's Wallet-Busting Win
      The insane tug-of-war between Dell and HP for enterprise storage company 3Par has finally drawn to a close. We have a winner, if you want to call it that -- the final sale price is more than double the figure Dell initially put forward when it announced its intentions to buy 3Par a couple weeks ago, so who knows how much of that is real value and how much is […]

    • 3Par Sale Frenzy Ends With HP the Presumed Winner

    • In iTunes, All App Reviews Are Not Created Equal
      I like walled gardens. They are safe and, for the most part, keep out the predators. However, when one sneaks over the wall, the results can be ugly, to say the least. With the iTunes App Store, one of the key supposed advantages for end-users is that it is a walled garden, and Apple is providing a safe, secure environment you can trust in. […]
    • How to Build a Better Business Blog
      About the easiest way for companies to dip their toes into the social media waters is the blog.

So every business is leaping eagerly int […]
