Recently in Log Management Category

Not so long ago, I remember that talking about information security management brought a lot of eyebrowse up, something of a black art, kind of like UNIX Administration.
But in today's world, Cyber Security has gotten enough attention recently from the White House, Congress, Military, and Law Enforcement not only in the U.S. but across the globe that discussing the need for Cyber Security and Information Security Management in the public and private sectors is no longer considered a foreign topic or a dark black art. The discussion of Risk Management and Information Security Management are now an interwoven fabric within IT Frameworks for COBIT and ITIL.

At the NJTC meeting yesterday at the Forsgate Country Club, we had a diverse number of parties interested in our solutions to support their Information Security Management Program - from Audit and Financial executives to IT Management. Our solutions will provide a means to help IT and Data Owners identify the threats, and risks to their business processes in these times of round-the-clock international electronic business transactions. Situational awareness of today's highly complex distributed IT Service environments is no longer simply a nice to have but a necessity to survival of digital business transactions against a world of distributed Botnets and pre-zero day vulnerabilities.

I would like to thank the NJTC for giving us the ability to reach out to so many different businesses operating in across the State of New Jersey and those that stopped by to simply hear what our solutions have to offer to their Business Services.

Last day here at HP Universe in Hamburg, talking about integrating Information Security Management more closely into the enterprise architecture and the system development life cycle. Enterprise Frameworks including the new NIST guideline for Special Publication 800-37 Rev. 1 and six step Risk Management Framework, highlights ITIL V3 and COBIT 4.1 frameworks call for information security to be closely aligned with the enterprise for effective Risk Management.

We have been talking about the new Standards and Guidelines concerning the harmonization of IT and Information Security Governance. With netForensics Sim One, information security management enterprise software, HP uCMDB, and HP Operations Manager Software integration, we can provide the proof that IT Operations Management and Information Security Management are working on the same vision of Domain Services for continual monitoring of enterprise services providing IT Operations and Information Security the ability to monitor the effectiveness of the control environment, promoting near real-time risk management.

If your looking for solutions to help you manage risk-based decisions with regard to the organizational information systems supporting their core missions and business functions, we already have it.

From the English Parliament to CBS News, and the April Fools Day announcements - Conflicker Botnet infections have gained media attention. Microsoft and most of the security industry have been reporting the urgency of addressing this issue since before Nov. 2008. We have been reporting on this issue since our blog space began. Below are some links addressing detection and removal of Conflicker. However it is not only one backdoor botnet infection that you need to fix, it is other code that may have been installed or information communicated after the first beach head was installed. The best thing to do is to follow Microsoft's advice on virus and worm outbreaks save what you can and re-image the OS and Applications back on to your PC.

Below are a list of removal and detection resources:
