VMware has failed to fix a severe bug in its virtualisation software that can expose users' critical information, according to a security company.
Rootkits that use virtualisation techniques should not present detection problems, according to researchers from Carnegie Mellon and Stanford universities in the US.
Microsoft officially launched Windows Server 2008, Windows Visual Studio 2008, and announced SQL Server 2008, which is due in the third quarter of this year.
Virtualisation can reduce energy consumption and cut operating costs for companies adopting the technology, according to Butler Group's Infrastructure Virtualisation report.
Virtualisation is proving popular in the enterprise, with three-quarters of businesses having already deployed or planning to deploy server virtualisation technologies over the next 12 months, according to a recent survey.
It's no surprise that software companies are keen to fob off as much of their tech support as possible to automated systems -- support is a cost, not a profit centre, unless you charge an inordinate amount for it.
Is Apple keeping the iPod Touch and iPhone platform closed to third party developers to protect its impressive record on security?
Symantec is about to launch Norton 360 in Australia and although the product seems to have some interesting features, it will take more than marketing hype to persuade me that the company has stopped making bloated and unreliable software.
Sibos 2006 organisers had probably spent more on security than any other exhibition I have been to; however, all it took was a friendly gesture from one security guard to create a gaping hole in the security infrastructure.
As the essential tool for the wired generation, Google's search engine has come to embody the zeitgeist of the noughties -- one of information overload and instant gratification. But is it dangerous for a tech company to have such cultural influence?
Server virtualisation is a no-brainer -- it's quick to deploy and easy to justify in terms of cost-savings but too many companies are deploying the technology without considering the security implications.
It is quickly becoming the norm for Australia's largest banks to offer discounts on or completely free computer security software to boost internet banking security. The question is, why?
A student researcher has come up with an attack that uses light to thwart the security of Java and .Net virtual machines.
The thriving community of Internet users that are opting for a 'Second Life' in virtual worlds are a tempting market for advertising. But is a virtual presence a viable option for big business?
Can virtual worlds make a meaningful contribution to business -- and if so, how can they be protected from invasions of privacy and flying genitalia? ZDNet Australia gets the lowdown from Chris Collins, technical assistant to the CEO at Second Life developer Linden Lab.
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7 offers a balance between best-of-breed security protection and ease of use, providing the home user with superior protection that's light on system resources.
Intel today launched the vPro desktop platform in Australia and New Zealand, claiming the technology will reduce support costs, improve hardware security and make PCs easier to manage. However, newly found partner Apple has no plans to include vPro in its line of offerings.
In the boldest security-software move we've seen, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.5 has partnered with an identity management solutions provider to provide both offline and online identity-theft protection, making this suite well worth the price.
While Norton Confidential beta from Symantec aims to protect your online transactions, and its antisphishing toolbar compares favourably to Netcraft's own offering, we found the Norton package to be overly large, including many other Symantec applets that seem unnecessary.
Norton Internet Security 2006 is a solid security suite, but it bogs down PC performance. Though it's a reasonable upgrade for entrenched Norton fans, it offers users less bang for the buck than ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.
