Anyone else notice the GLARING missing piece to the Endpoint Security whitepaper presented on the 9th? http://itpapers.techrepublic.com/abstract.aspx?docid=120933&promo=3008&tag=nl.e102
The article pointed out the obvious to anyone with a couple of years experience in security (spyware, viruses, etc.), but it failed to mention anyway of assuring the identity of the user on the other end of the wire (i.e. smartcards, tokens, biometrics, etc.).
TechRepublic, please stop putting out articles from paying vendors that do nothing but throw some simple facts together to make a sales pitch. We need some articles that give solid advice. If those come from your paying partners, then so be it. But at least make sure the articles / advertisements are worth something technically. Advertisements are not whitepapers!
