Buckle Up With PCI ... It's Becoming the Law

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:59:00 GMT

A new Washington state law went into effect earlier this month that makes a business or a credit card processor liable for unauthorized access to credit card information it stores. The key thing with the law is that businesses or processors are not liable if they are PCI DSS compliant, so in effect this further motivates businesses who process credit cards to get compliant. This is part of a growing trend for states to in effect incorporate PCI into state law.

Centrify Enabled Samba

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:00:00 GMT

Samba, one of the most popular Open Source technologies in use, allows IT administrators to share directories and files hosted on UNIX and Linux systems with Windows users. However, Samba can be difficult to deploy, and its inability to centrally store UNIX identity information in Active Directory makes it unworkable in most enterprise scenarios. This white paper describes how you can use Centrify DirectControl to make Samba more secure, more manageable, and enterprise ready.

FISMA addresses security issues in a comprehensive manner, covering everything from identity management to physical building security. This white paper focuses specifically on identity and access management (IAM) issues, using the guidance provided by NIST Special Publication 800-53, Revision 2, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems, as a roadmap.

Go after a Large Market that Can Be Penetrated in a Cost-Effective Manner

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 13:59:00 GMT

Welcome back to my series on what I consider to be the "key DNA" elements that your product and company must have to be successful in the infrastructure software market. In this blog entry I talk about DNA element #4, which is: try to make sure that your product really plays in a large market that can be penetrated in a cost-effective manner.

Is it a Feature or a Product or a Mini-Platform?

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 13:59:00 GMT

Welcome to the third post in my Entrepreneurship in the Infrastructure Software Market (EISM) blog. In these initial set of postings I am blogging on what I think are some of the key DNA elements required to be successful in this market. As expected, luck of course is DNA element #1. In my last post I discussed DNA element #2, which is your solution must be considered by the customer as being "must have," and discussed the importance of vetting this well before full-blown development of your product has begun and really determining how likely customers would be willing to replace an existing piece of infrastructure for your solution. In this post I will discuss key DNA element #3, which is you should ensure that whatever infrastructure software solution that you build and release has the ability to morph fairly rapidly and easily beyond what can be perceived as a feature of the underlying platform and into something that can become a mini-platform unto itself.
