Storage and security vendors used to come from different worlds -- but in the space of 18 months, Symantec merged with Veritas and EMC acquired RSA Security. So how do you feel about trusting the same vendor to store and secure your corporate data?
A former government security advisor now in the employ of Hitachi Data systems claims major storage players, including his own company, have fundamental problems with securing their systems.
The Australian Law Reform Commission yesterday released a report recommending Australia introduce data breach disclosure laws but Senator John Faulkner said that bridge would not be crossed by government at least for the next 18 months.

The Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA) of Australia and New Zealand has set about adapting its relations with end users and the wider ICT community as part of its plan to "make storage sexy".
Does anyone seriously believe that Australian businesses and government agencies manage security any better than the US or UK?
A new survey highlights a predictable problem: there could be lots of risky private information stored on USB sticks. That's about as surprising as Paris Hilton flaunting her lady garden in public.
It's an inevitable consequence of sitting in a lot of enterprise presentations: sooner or later, the phrase "data leakage" is going to come up -- and when it does, you can't help but think of nappies.
You'd think that a national military scandal would be enough to convince people to take a little care with portable storage devices, but apparently not.
Faced with the thought of a USB drive, notebook PC or backup tape going missing, most IT managers look to some form of encryption as the first layer of defence. However, according to one storage security expert, that's largely a pointless exercise.
USB storage technology could become the next floppy drive. But does the small size and blazing speed pose a security risk? One member thinks so.
A miniature personal server hopes to land in mobile workers' pockets.
CIOs and IT managers are constantly tackling enterprise storage requirements, vulnerabilities and finding the right server to suit their needs. ZDNet Australia looks at some tips.

Apple Time Capsule is a convenient and simple wireless router and NAS server combo for your home. Unfortunately, especially in the case of the 1TB version, you can find better deals on devices that offer greater storage space and many more features for the price.
The Thecus N5200 Pro is definitely a higher end NAS, and will benefit power users and tweakers a lot more than entry-level users.
The HP EVA4400 is a Storage Area Network (SAN) system that provides data storage and security on a much larger scale than a simple RAID or NAS system. We found it to be a reliable and scalable high-end data system.
The old adage "good things come in small packages" certainly applies to the QNAP TS-409, a silver and black cube whose small dimensions sport a raft of features.
The ReadyNAS range is a perfect addition to a household that needs not just storage, but control over that storage. Now if only Netgear could do something about the price.
