"Encryption: Advantages vs. Drawbacks"
By Sixto Ortiz Jr.
Friday, June 13, 2008
Even though it makes lots of sense, implementing encryption in the enterprise has its drawbacks, including complexity, cost, lack of scalability, and lack of interoperability with VoIP systems. So even though implementing encryption is appealing, many businesses may balk at the potential obstacles.
Enterprises must take the time to look carefully at encryption’s advantages and drawbacks before implementation. Only then will decision makers be able to judiciously consider the alternatives and make a sound business decision.

By Jessica Hughes
Monday, June 09, 2008
The cities of Middleton, Fitchburg and Sun Prairie have similar-sized populations, are almost equidistant and are on the outskirts of Wisconsin's capital city, Madison.

Before looking at what's next, we must take a look at what's now. One of the more troubling aspects of network security is that threats change well ahead of IT's ability, or sometimes willingness, to adopt new measures. First a threat emerges and then the IT community responds. By then, the bad guys are already looking for a new weakness to exploit. There may actually be hundreds or even thousands of hackers looking for new ways to penetrate perimeter defences or operating system loopholes. Once an exploitable weakness is found, the methods to take advantage of it are distributed and the race is on for IT to plug the hole.
Previously, the back and forth battle between hackers and IT departments was led by a group of disconnected loners on the hacker side of the fence. Typically under resourced and by their very nature secretive, these hackers went after whatever targets of opportunity they could find. Tips, tricks and best practices were shared, but hacking was more of a social function than a directed attempt to accomplish a mission objective.
