ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:00 AM PDT Checkpoint ZoneAlarm Internet Security 2010 finished 12th in our 2010 roundup of security suites. At $40 (for three users as of 3/29/2010), it contains all the basic features--antivirus, antispam, firewall, antiphishing, and Internet security features--and some useful extras such as one year of credit bureau monitoring for ID theft. But it did a poor job in our tests for detecting brand-new malware threats. |
Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:00 AM PDT Eset Smart Security 4 came in 13th in our 2010 roundup of 13 Internet security suites. It provides only the basic elements of such a suite, leaving out features common in other packages, such as Web browser protection, backup, and parental controls, and it costs more than any other suite we tested ($90 for three users as of 3/29/2010). One extra utility, called SysInspector, is included, but it's geared more for the high-end user, and alone is not worth the extra cost. Eset's traditional malware detection capabilies are adequate, but its inability to effectively detect and disable brand-new malware brings down its score. |
Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:00 AM PDT Norton Internet Security 2010 ($70 for 3 users as of 3/10/2010) took the top spot in our 2010 roundup of security suites, edging out Kaspersky's offering. Norton has a comprehensive set of features, top-notch malware detection, and reasonable speed. Symantec has been investing in technology that detects malware by its behavior, and it shows in this release, further bolstering this historically strong performer. |
Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:00 AM PDT Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 was the second-place finisher in our 2010 security suites roundup, trailing only Norton Internet Security, and not by much. It earns high scores for strong malware detection, efficient performance, and a well-designed interface. While Kaspersky executes these features well, the price ($80 for 3 users as of 3/10/2010) is more than the cost of some other suites. |

Tokenization eases merchant PCI compliance Posted: 05 Apr 2010 09:00 AM PDT Today, it's expected that merchants accept electronic payments and that those payments are secure with no data leaks or breaches of any kind. But the reality is many merchants don't truly understand the vulnerabilities that electronic payments present. They may think they are secure when in fact they are at risk. |
Why ECPA Should Make You Think Twice about the Cloud Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:00 AM PDT The Digital Due Process coalition is pushing Congress to modernize privacy laws in the United States. The coalition--comprised of technology companies and special interest groups, including Microsoft, Google, EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation), ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), eBay, and others--feels that existing privacy regulations do not adequately protect data in the digital era, and could stop businesses from embracing cloud computing. |
McAfee: 'Amateur' malware not used in Google attacks Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:00 AM PDT |
Google: Malware targets Vietnamese activists Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:00 AM PDT |
Postmortem: Broken feedback loops in critical systems Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:00 AM PDT A sad story caught my eye in a local paper recently. A 23-year-old anorexic prisoner died in prison in Swanton, Vermont in August 2009 because of a chain of human errors. The tragedy has valuable – if tragic – lessons for all of us involved in mission-critical operations, from controlling production systems through responding to computer intrusions. |
