When you're afraid all the time, inter-company promotional faxes that include a picture of match being lit combined with the coincidental delivery of package are enough to create a bomb scare. Hopefully, this is limited to Massachusetts, but I have my doubts.
thanksgiving

It will probably be a little quiet around here for the rest of the week as it's the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I'll still be checking my e-mail via the blackberry, of course :). Thanks to all who have made this a great year for WiKID.
risk-and-effectiveness-for-project-evaluation

Gunnar Peterson has a post from Metricon about Bryan Ware's presentation about combining the effectiveness of a solution and the risk involved. I couldn't find the link to the actualy presentation. (I didn't have the time to go through them all.)
I think I would tie the effectiveness of the proposed security solution to the cost of capital of the overall project. It would be interesting to tie Bryan's work with my "work" on estimating the cost of capital for an information security project.
texas-considers-requiring-pci-compliance
Posted by: admin 16 years, 2 months ago
In an interesting twist in the continuing PCI story, the Texas legislature may mandate PCI compliance:
According to the language of the bill, "A business that, in the regular course of business, collects, maintains, or stores sensitive personal information in connection with an access device must comply with payment card industry data security standards." The bill would allow a financial institution in the state to request a breached entity to provide certification of its compliance with PCI specified controls. HB 3222 would require the certification to be issued by a PCI-approved auditor no earlier than 90-days before the breach.It sounds like retailers would have to be audited every 90 days! Is this bill the work of the financial institutions or the auditors?
