Companies still dragging their feet with patches

hair faster than they were five years ago.

Security training 101
Installing the latest security hardware and software means nothing if end users
don't practice cybersafety. And the best way to get end users to 'think
security' is to create an ongoing culture of security at your company.

Opinion: 'Hackers wanted' ad fed a public misconception about computer security
The U.S. government and its proxy in this case, General Dynamics, should know
better than to think that hackers can do the jobs of security professionals.

Can you no longer avoid closely monitoring employees?
The insider threat has always existed, but the problem is magnified in an era of
economic upheaval and uncertainty. A recent Ponemon Institute survey of 945
people who were laid off, fired or quit their jobs during the past year found
that 59% admitted to stealing company data, and 67% used their former company's
confidential information to leverage a new job.

10 Dos and Don'ts for Security Job Interviews
The pickings are slim in the job market and the time line of interviewing and
then hiring new people is slow. But there are positions available in the
security field, according to three veteran security recruiters that we spoke
with recently. If you're looking for a change in your career, or are simply
looking to get back to work, there is simply no room for anything less than the
best impression these days.

Virtual Servers, Real Savings
With server virtualization, you do more with less. Instead of filling your data
center with underutilized boxes, you run multiple operating systems and
applications on a single physical machine. As a result, virtualization has
quickly moved from a niche technology to an essential component of the modern
data center.
