WorkLight: WorkLight says RSA chief's observations ring true
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:16052008
London -- WorkLight, the Web 2.0 security specialist, says that
RSAchief Art Coviello's observations that hackers are now posing a real
threat to the online world is something that major corporates should
sit up and take notice of.
"Coviello says that hackers are developing plans to attack healthcare
providers as their revenue streams from the financial services sector
start to dry up," said David Lavenda, WorkLight's director of marketing
and strategy.
"It's also fascinating that the RSAchief also notes that criminals are
also expanding their operations vertically into sites like Facebook,"
he added.
According to Lavenda, whilst Coviello dismisses biometrics as an
imperfect solution to current IT security problems, it is interesting
to hear his views that the technology will develop to the point where
it offers very high levels of protection - eventually.
"As always, there is no silver bullet. Companies will continue to need
to take a multi-layered approach to security, including using secure
network technologies to access Web 2.0 services like Facebook and
MySpace," he explained.
Lavenda went on to say that firms need to evolve a secure access
strategy with social networking sites, in order to securely tap into
the significant B2B and B2C benefits that these services offer.
