 EMC PowerPath Encryption with RSA
Happy Cinco de Mayo and welcome to the latest Speaking of Security video podcast. Today Host Paul Joyal speaks with Colin Bailey of EMC and Katie Curtin-Mestre of RSA, The Security Division of EMC, about this new scalable solution that leverages RSA Key Manager for the Datacenter.
Kevin Bowers is a Research Scientist at RSA Laboratories. Here are his views on the controversy surrounding REAL ID. What do you think? I'm getting married this summer and my family will be traveling to the wedding. In order to make the trip, my parents recently renewed their passports. Not because I'm getting married at an exotic destination, but because they live in Montana and have to fly to the wedding. Like several other states, Montana has refused to comply with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had threatened to prevent residents from those states from using their state-issued driver's licenses as identification at airport security, effective May 11th. As it happens, the DHS recently granted all states an extension to the May 11th deadline, allowing them additional time to become REAL ID compliant. Continue Reading

As I mentioned in a blog post in late October 2007, the IT industry and other stakeholders have been calling for the U.S. Congress to pass legislation that would help empower law enforcement to more effectively investigate and prosecute cyber criminals -- while updating penalties in U.S. criminal code so that the punishment fits the crime. It's stunning to me that the Congress has not yet sent legislation to the President for his signature to address this important issue... Continue Reading

Phishing
Today (the date I'm writing this entry) is my birthday. Birthdays are a time of quiet contemplation for me (and quiet desperation for my mother). As I think about the past year and the progress I've made (things are looking good for my long-term goal of spending my old age miserable and alone), I keep thinking of change and how people and things advance. The past year has shown much progress. Women have rejected me, technology products have been launched, iPhones were purchased and even the world of financial crime has not been silent. The Rock Phish group is a phishing gang believed to be based out of Russia -- and, by some accounts, is responsible for roughly 50% of phishing attacks by volume... Continue Reading

RSA Conference
I have been attending RSA Conferences since early this decade. The U.S. version of the Conference has been around since 1991 and it's grown from 50 attendees (all cryptologists) to around 17,000 participants annually from the private and public sectors including security professionals, business executives, lawyers, academics, privacy advocates, regulators, and journalists. For the first-time attendee it can be absolutely overwhelming because there are so many speakers, so many issues, so many events during the week, and if you go to the show floor, literally hundreds of organizations showing their wares. Well, being a veteran RSA Conference attendee, I thought I was ready for another busy but ultimately manageable week despite the multiple commitments and responsibilities that I had to balance. Well, that theory was turned on its head, starting on Sunday... Continue Reading
