Several weeks ago at the Gartner Security Summit I had a chance to sit down with Dor Skuler and Eric Lundbohm to speak about some of the things they have been hearing and discussing in the security industry given there totally different backgrounds.
Dor and I discussed a very innovative product that came out of Bell Laboratories called the Laptop Guardian which is one of the latest of the Labs creations to help organizations in this case to mitigate against the risks posed by the road warrior or mobile employee.
Eric and I discussed a wide variety of issues but mainly focussed on protecting companies against certain behaviours of their own employees. In security it is well known that our employees are frankly our most dangerous asset, and any technology and training to mitigate against that risk is time and money well spent.
