Q&A: No alternative to PCI, security council chief insists

Computerworld - As the general manager of the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, Robert Russo has borne the brunt of criticism about the PCI data security standard. Computerworld spoke with Russo last week as the council prepared to receive formal comments from industry stakeholders about the current version of the standard, which went into effect last fall. Russo stoutly defended the standard and said that despite questions about its effectiveness, there's no alternative when it comes to protecting payment card data.

What do you say to those who have said the PCI rules-making process is not as inclusive as it needs to be? The way it works is after we release a new standard, it stays out there for a approximately eight months and then a new comment period begins. All of our participating organizations, as well as all of the assessment community and approved software vendors and such will have the opportunity to give us formal feedback. We will ask them to tell us what their top five priorities are regarding the standard--what they would like to see addressed, what they'd like to see changed, what they'd like to see added or deleted. We take all of this information and we will digest that and put that in some form that can be distributed once again to the participating communities, saying: 'This is the result of everything we have gotten. And this is what we are proposing, based on what we heard should be in the newest version of the standard,' and then we will have another comment period. That information will be the basis for the new or evolved standard that will be released.

The Cybersecurity Coordinator's Job Description

CSO - About this series: In a paper he wrote and published before President Obama's announcement regarding the creation of a national cybersecurity coordinator, Ariel Silverstone, a CISSP and former member of the Israeli Defense Forces, put forward his thoughts about the necessity of having a chief security officer for the United States. In this second installment, he discusses where he sees the CSO role fitting in, and the core "Three Tenets" he sees as critical to success in this role. Silverstone also lists his vision for the next 6 (of 23) tasks that he sees as essential for information security in the United States.

CNET News Daily Podcast: On building ethical military robots

Robotics engineer Ronald Arkin of Georgia Tech just finished a three-year contract with the U.S. Army designing software to create ethical robots. His thesis is that robots can be configured with a built-in "guilt system" that eventually could make them better at avoiding civilian casualties than human soldiers. CNET intern Dara Kerr talks to Arkin about his work.

Also in today's podcast: Jammie Thomas-Rasset's lawyers say she plans to appeal her RIAA case; MySpace--and presumably other community-based Web services--cannot be held liable in assault charges stemming from people meeting on its Web site; and watch out for Waledac over the 4th of July weekend.

Seven Deadly Sins of Social Networking Security

CSO - Admit it: You are currently addicted to social networking. Your drug of choice might be Facebook or Twitter, or maybe Myspace or LinkedIn. Some of you are using all of the above, and using them hard, even IT security practitioners who know better.

While it's impossible to escape every social networking threat out there, there are steps one can take to significantly reduce the risks. CSOonline recently checked in with dozens of IT security professionals (ironically, using more than one social networking platform to do so) to pinpoint seven typical security mistakes people make; and how to avoid them.

Net neutrality gets a boost from the feds

Net neutrality advocates got a boost of support Wednesday from the Obama administration when it released grant guidelines for spending the government's $7.2 billion broadband stimulus package.

Companies winning grants to help build new broadband infrastructure will have to follow the Federal Communications Commission's Internet Policy statement, which prohibits companies from deliberately blocking or slowing Internet traffic on their networks.

Proponents of that concept, Net neutrality, have been pushing the government to pass laws or set stricter requirements to ensure that consumers get access to content they want and that competitors are not run out of business by network operators.

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Windows Search due to the way file previews are generated. Attempts to exploit this vulnerability require user interaction. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run a malicious HTML script that could disclose information, forward user data to a third party, or access any data on the affected systems that was accessible to the logged-on user. Note that this vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate their user rights directly, but it could be used to produce information that could be used to try to further compromise the affected system.
