Security Management White Papers

Utility-Theoretic Information Retrieval, Cognitive Hacking, and Intelligence and Security Informatics

Overview Libicki first characterized attacks on computer systems in the context of information warfare as being physical, syntactic, and semantic, where software agents were mislead by misinformation deliberately fed by an adversary. This paper generalizes the concept of cognitive hacking, placing it in Libicki's framework of semantic attack. The concept of semantic attacks and their countermeasures are expected to be an important component of a new science of intelligence and security informatics.

Microsoft has seen a "very limited attack" that already exploited this flaw, he added. Proof-of-concept code that exploits this flaw was posted to the net last month. Several of the issues, such as a vulnerability in PowerPoint, have already been...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
