Company X, a transportation company in the Midwest, had a well-managed external network infrastructure.

DefCon 19 ReCap - Security When Nanoseconds Count
High-speed trading - it's a reality often lost in the discussions of current financial challenges. Much of the trading activity that drives the global economy occurs at speeds that exceed human capability. Yes - computers conduct trades at nanosecond speeds based on mathematical algorithms. These algorithms take into account information from global markets, futures trading, financial indicators, among other factors to make trading decisions. Speed is money for these systems.

Adobe Vulnerability Part 2 - Security Posturing
By now all of you are aware of the Adobe Zero-day vulnerability affecting both Adobe Flash and Reader. While patches have been released correcting this vulnerability, the question remains how do consumers (and by that I mean SMB, general consumers and Enterprises) protect themselves in the future. While we continue to state the obvious (and sometimes archaic) patches and malware protection, the reality is much more than that.
There continues to be an explosion of web applications in this rapidly expanding social web presence. The rush to deliver a product to market is more often over shadowed by good programming with a security focus.
Can the existing security technologies keep up with this explosion? Adobe is not the only vendor to deal with vulnerabilities, and they
