Good updates from Information Week

My whole college career; both undergrad and grad school; I receive daily update from Information Week.  This not only fills my need for my addiction to technology, but it keeps me informed as well.  Todays headline was way to stop insider attacks.  Cyber Security is a major issue now and the information from the CIA is priceless I think.  Insider attacks come I feel mainly when disgruntled employees or hackers as I call them become upset at a particular direction of their company and decide to do something to ry and topple it.  The whole playstation network fiasco that happened last year could have been seen as an insider attach and not depending on the way that you look at it.  Take that the network is mostly free to users even though it has not ben as successful as xbox live.  Why doesn't someone just attach Microsoft.  Well, my friends, Microsoft would be well prepared for any coming attacks.  Sony just had this little network that someone decided had to be messed with and poof.....it was down for 2 weeks while Sony tried to figure out what happened.  Now I for one think that it could have been an insider attach because PSN stinks.....you will have to decide.  So if you want to learn more about Information Security; sign up for Information Week and get daily updates.
