Not too long ago I embarked on a creating a podcast series that would provide more regularity than the blog. Beyond the Perimeter has been a tremendous amount of fun and as we just posted our 50th podcast I wanted to reflect on some of the highlights and wonderful guests we have been honored to [...]

Client-Side Virtualization Part III: HAL 9000, Hosted Virtual Desktops, and the Death Star
Posted in Security, Technology, tagged citrix, cloud computing, DaaS, HAL 9000, Microsoft, skynet, the Death Star, Virtualization, VMWare on June 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Systems and security management is difficult, ineffective, costly and becoming ever more so in increasingly distributed, heterogeneous, complex, and mobile computing environments…
98% of all external attacks take advantage of poorly administered, misconfigured, and unmanaged systems (Source: Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report 2009)
A locked down and well managed PC can cost 42% less than an unmanaged [...]
Client-Side Virtualization Episode II: Standardization, Attack of the Clones and Desktops Reloaded

Consolidation is the major benefit or “killer app” for server/data center virtualization. Standardization is the major benefit or “killer app” for client-side virtualization.
As I was pondering the challenges of current systems management processes, researching the latest and greatest from the client-side virtualization vendors, and talking to a lot of large organizations I was trying to [...]
Client-Side Virtualization Overview Part 1; The Good, The Bad, and The Reality

To address the increasing cost and complexity of managing dynamic IT environments organizations are trying to understand how to adopt virtualization technologies. The value proposition and “killer app” are quite clear in the data center, however less attention has been given to the opportunities for endpoint virtualization. Even though there are multiple methods to address [...]

I had an interesting conversation with a peer recently that started with a statement he made that “innovation was all but dead in security”. The implication was that we had done all we could do and that there was very little more that would be accomplished. Of course I felt this was an overly simplistic [...]
Moving Security through Visibility to Implementing Operational Controls

Quick thought for the day. Most technologies in the security world move through a predictable cycle of adoption. First an organization implements a solution to gain visibility into the scope of the problem (VA, IDS, DLP/CMF, SIEM) then once it becomes apparent that the problem is vast and overwhelming they move to operationally implement technical [...]
Cloud computing: Swarm Intelligence and Security in a Distributed World
Posted in Security, tagged Botnets, cloud computing, distributed intelligence, Hoff, Reuven Cohen, Security, Swarm Intelligence, Virtualization on November 3, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Reading through my blog feeds I came across something Hoff wrote in response to Reuven Cohen’s “Elastic Vapor: Life In the Cloud Blog, in particular I wanted to respond to the the following comment (here)
This basically means that we should distribute the sampling, detection and prevention functions across the entire networked ecosystem, not just to [...]
Myths, Misconceptions, Half-Truths and Lies about Virtualization

Thanks to VMware you can barely turn around today without someone using the V-word and with every aspect of the English language, and some from ancient Sumeria, now beginning with V it will only get worse. There is no question that virtualization holds a lot of promise for the enterprise, from decreased cost to increased [...]
Twitter Feed- amrittsering: @Marsmensch So I suppose one could argue it's shininess is its weakness November 13, 2009
- amrittsering: @Marsmensch But if you were a thief and saw a shiny MAC next to a soviet-era gray/black utilitarian PC which would you abscond with? November 13, 2009
- amrittsering: @Marsmensch In all seriousness the biggest threat to Macs at a Macro level (no pun intended) is the user which makes it like everything else November 13, 2009
