A friend of mine who was going to New College, |
Anti-virus software does nothing to stop a worm, |
I was accepted for a high-school internship program at Lawrence Livermore National Labs, where I conducted research on network security vulnerabilities and technology that could automate security weakness detection. |
If we in the U.S. can't protect ourselves, what message does that send to the rest of the world? |
It will help customers to handle their security better, |
Many of the issues come from software vendors trying too rapidly to get the software out of the door, |
We knew about this vulnerability a month before the worm emerged, ... If companies knew to scan even their perimeter machines, they could easily have seen this vulnerability and applied this patch and not be affected. I think what we're going to see is a new awareness around this and, as a result, new emphasis on planned vulnerability scanning so they have a fixed process. |
