Re: Life just keeps getting better....

Which implies that no protection is possible *after* a compromise. Which is not in dispute. We're talking about prevention, Ken. The point being made is that whitelisting as an approach does not suffer the inherent drawbacks of zero-day malignant code -- e.g. it won't allow it to run, thereby av

Already covered in another thread. For the record, I agree with the analysis here: http://www.sophos .com/blogs/duck/g/2010/05/11/khobe-vulnerability-earth-shaker/ "Earth Shaking" is quite a bit of hyperbole, IMO... -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 3:42 AM, Greg Olso

RE: FW: Encrypted files.

Via email .. S/MIME is the easiest for users to understand and certificates are cheap. No admin needed at all. Weakness is that it's only encrypted as far as the mailbox, so the user would be prone to saving it unencrypted to a file share (may not be an issue at all). Weaker than that, and a good

Fwd: FW: Encrypted files.

I received the email below from a public sector entity we work with, who are maintaining that for "security reasons" they now send out certain documents as encrypted .exe files, which they expect our users to unpack themselves. Notwithstanding that a) the IronPort isn't particularly keen on letting

Once you have code running as system/root, your whitelisting software becomes irrelevant. Because the system that implements ACLs on anything can simply be subverted or replaced. Cheers Ken -Original Message- From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:kennedy...@elyriaschools.org] Sent: Tuesday, 11 Ma
