One of the biggest power-consumption issues in data centers is cooling all those servers.  There are a couple of ways to address this cooling issue.  Consolidating the servers you have, can reduce the number of boxes running at all, and this will immediately address the cost of powering the data center as well as addressing the cost to lower the temperature in the center.  Along with consolidation comes questions of how well the servers will run when they are running either virtual machines (a common way to consolidate while maintaining much of the security of having physical separation between resources) or policy-separated access to sensitive files using group-access policies.

Updated Alert:  Most visus hoaxes are notable for their lack of information and detail.  This poor quality in virus hoaxes must be stamped out, so here is a candidate for a more entertaining virus hoax.  Here is the “Neverland” Virus Hoax.

New virux Hoax ‘Neverland’

There is a new hoax virux that is going around. KrispyKreme and Microsoft announced on Friday. First seen in 1857, this virux cannot be deleted from your hard drive and changes solid-state storage devices such as Flash drives to a liquid state. If you discover you have got this virux, wear rubber gloves to transport your computer to the nearest INDUSTRIAL SHREADER.  It has paid off Snopes.com so they will not write about it.

Announcement!

I have published a new web design ebook called Top-Down Web Design. This eBook covers the crucial period of a web project before the site-coding begins.  It is a truism that coding projects get more expensive and more time-consuming as the project continues, and so it makes sense that the time when you would want to set the scope of the project is before you start choosing the web application or send out the first affiliate ad.

Top-Down Web Design can save you literally thousands of hours of coding in the wrong direction, and possibly recover thousands of potential subscribers who were turned off by your format, content or navigation system.

The Atlanta SecureWorldExpo was really fun this year! I had a chance to catch up with some old friends and meet some great new people.
There was a snafu with the program, and my session was not on the paper schedule, though it was on the web site, so I was pleased to see anybody at all show up for my session on “Penetration Tools You Should Know.”

I figure the people who were planning to come to my talk should have even more benefit so I did a drawing for a signed copy of my book, Computer Security and Penetration Tools.  Jason Miller of ChoicePoint walked away with the prize.

I am looking for stories about insider threat right now, for a project to be finished later this year.  If you have one, let me know by email or add a comment to this post.  Since Insider Threats are the most prevalent of successful attacks on businesses today, I have been drilling down into the situations that make it possible and the many solutions available.
