MAKE MASHUPS SECURE

With the advent of mashups, innovative developers all over the enterprise
are seeking new ways to leverage the value of corporate information
through the use of external Web applications, APIs, or services.
Although the thought of this adventure has sent many corporate security
specialists running behind their firewalls, mashups are here to stay.
Indeed, they have strategic value for many enterprises, so you'd
better figure out how to live with them.

KITTENS -- THE SOLUTION TO SPAM?

An executive at Microsoft has an unusual idea for beating spammers.
Powerful software tools and supercomputers aren't involved, but
kittens are.

FILE ENCRYPTION DOS AND DON'TS

I've been involved with multiple projects with file encryption lately,
and even though I've been assisting with data encryption projects for
years, I'm still learning something new every day. They say if you don't
learn something new each day, then the day is wasted. Me, I'd settle for
not looking like a goon in front of the client.
