VIP is a managed, shared authentication solution that provides its users with a single one-time password (OTP) authentication device to securely access multiple Web sites. http://www.itworld.com/security/80895/rsa-and-verisign-partner-cloud-based-offering#comments Channel Security News authentication RSA security VeriSign Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:19:14 -0400 ITworld staff 80895 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/77951/social-networking-tool-more-secure-id-management At Digital ID World 2009, a Facebook platform engineer says social networking sites can be used to actually improve identity and access management.

But more often than not, the information gathering fails to improve security. In fact, it often makes matters worse. http://www.itworld.com/security/77833/data-debauchery-happens-vegas-doesnt-stay-there#comments Network access control Security News authentication fraud identity theft Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:56:31 -0400 ITworld staff 77833 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/70328/survey-it-pros-are-optimistic-about-bigger-budgets-next-year While most IT network professionals report modest cutbacks in spending this year vs. last year, they seem optimistic that will change for the better next year, according to an early look at an ongoing study from The Info Pro consultancy. http://www.itworld.com/security/70328/survey-it-pros-are-optimistic-about-bigger-budgets-next-year#comments Business Security News authentication NAC Mon, 06 Jul 2009 21:05:54 -0400 ITworld staff 70328 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/69573/5-mergers-less-aggravating-it-security-industry There's a school of thought that says that consolidation is actually making the security industry a less aggravating place. After all, most IT shops would rather see security baked into the larger IT infrastructure provided by the likes of Microsoft, Cisco and others than spend money on a growing array of bolt-on devices. http://www.itworld.com/security/69573/5-mergers-less-aggravating-it-security-industry#comments Security Opinion authentication data protection m&a Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:00:17 -0400 ITworld staff 69573 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/69405/intel-oracle-paypal-back-id-technology-interop-group The Kantara Initiative, formed to promote interoperability among identity verification applications and services, launched on Wednesday with big-name backers like Oracle, Intel, eBay's PayPal, AOL, CA, Novell, Fidelity Investments, Liberty Alliance, Boeing, Internet Society and British Telecom. http://www.itworld.com/security/69405/intel-oracle-paypal-back-id-technology-interop-group#comments Security News authentication Kantara Initiative Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:20:32 -0400 ITworld staff 69405 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/68923/its-information-stupid The people in an organization are closest to the critical data, so when it comes to data leakage they can be security's best friend or its worst enemy. http://www.itworld.com/security/68923/its-information-stupid#comments Network access control Security Opinion authentication data protection Mon, 08 Jun 2009 10:08:49 -0400 ITworld staff 68923 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/68829/hackers-claim-10000-prize-breaking-strongwebmail Voice-based authentication software company Telesign last week challenged hackers to break into the Web mail account of StrongWebmail CEO Darren Berkovitz and report back details from his June 26 calendar entry.
