Who is using fuzzing? How do people see fuzzing being used in the product security process? Forrester has included questions regarding use of fuzzing in to their questionnaire that they send to key industry CIOs, CSOs and CISOs.

I have talked with these organizations and will be discussing my findings in this blog and the upcoming webinar. http://www.itworld.com/security/64502/fuzzing-and-product-security#comments Security Best practice analyst fuzzing penetration testing QA research security testing Wed, 18 Mar 2009 04:40:30 -0400 Ari Takanen 64502 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/science/62805/scientists-hard-work-destroy-romance-once-and-all Like everything good and beautiful in this life, love is now being quantified by cold-hearted scientists, who are learning the precise combination of chemicals in the brain that delude people into thinking that their lives have somehow been completed by another person. http://www.itworld.com/science/62805/scientists-hard-work-destroy-romance-once-and-all#comments Science Opinion research Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:20:19 -0500 abennett 62805 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/59034/wiis-motion-controller-any-good How good is the Wii's motion controller?
