Configuring Active Directory-integrated security for ESXi hosts is easy; managing the license, a bit more complicated.

When it comes to sampling innovative technology, Schwan Foods, a multibillion-dollar frozen food producer, digs right in.

Information security was always an esoteric field but with personal computing came personal security issues, culminating in the identity theft problem that concerns even the most techno-phobic of consumers. It's about to get much worse.

In my research on Adaptive Security Infrastructure and Context Aware Security, I have concluded that future information security policy enforcement points must move security policy enforcement “up the stack”. As we move to virtualize our data centers and adopt cloud-based computing platforms, security policy can no longer be bound solely to physical attributes such as IP address or device.

I just stumbled upon this YouTube video (link here, embedded below) interview I did right after my talk at Blackhat 2008 titled “The 4 Horsemen of the Virtualization Security Apocalypse (PDF)” [There's a better narrative to the PDF that explains the 4 Horsemen here.]

Enterprise technology executives are skeptical about cloud computing and 45 percent of them say that the risks outweigh the benefits, according to a survey.

Cisco introduced the CCIE certification in 1993 to aid the industry in distinguishing the top inter-networking experts worldwide.

I remember when Microsoft first introduced PPTP virtual private network technology and sparked a debate about whether or not the Internet could be securely used for remote access.
