Australia's best-known security conference will open for business on Monday and organisers say this year's event should be the biggest ever.
AusCERT has called for the submission of papers and tutorials from the security community for presentation at its annual conference.
AusCERT general manager, Graham Ingram, has warned against viewing patching as a viable long-term solution to dealing with security vulnerabilities.
On the final day of AusCERT 2007 on Queensland's Gold Coast, the general manager of AusCERT, Graham Ingram, acknowledged that reporting computer crimes can be difficult but pleaded with delegates not to let these incidents go unreported.
The IT security industry has come to a frank realisation that the current approach to preventing malware is simply not working. Is whitelisting, which is the reverse of our current approach, the answer?
At this year's AusCERT conference, whitelists were a hot topic but is anyone going to use them?
It looks like AusCERT and GovCERT have worked out their issues and are no longer stepping on each others' toes.
Rootkits, which alter the kernel of an operating system and allow malicious code to hide from security software, seem to have stumped the security industry.
Top ranking executives are rarely heard promoting a rival's product, which is why it seemed odd that Microsoft would offer an iPod as a prize.
Antivirus applications from Symantec, McAfee or Trend Micro -- the three leading AV vendors in 2005 according to Gartner -- are far less likely to detect new viruses and Trojans than the least popular brands.
Responding to criticism levelled at its software developers by Australia's lead computer security authority, Microsoft Australia said it would attempt to make its products more "resilient" to virus attacks.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
Earlier this week, Munir Kotadia conducted an interview with the general manager of AusCERT, Graham Ingram. Among other subjects, he asked him about rootkits, and how the security industry was going to deal with them in the future. Ingram's answers should send chills down the spine of any chief security officer.
