The Importance of Application Security | 26/03/08 | Symantec |
| Application security has been a growing discipline in the IT world for about a decade. Not long ago, knowledge about securing applications came from a select few independent researchers, and resources for implementation were scarce. Through the years, more and more resources have become available as security expertise and toolsets have found their way to a wider population of technologists. Over the past five years, general knowledge of application security criteria has widened, making it rare that applications developers do not consider basic security aspects such as authentication and access control, among others. | sponsored by![]() |

Resolving The "Privacy Paradox": Practical Strategies For Government Identity Management Programs | 2008-11-01 | IBM |
| The digital age promises to deliver effective identity management solutions for governments, as citizens demand greater security in their travel and transactions. Yet at the same time, there is strong opposition, on privacy and civil liberties grounds, to some proposed government initiatives. This tension between the power of technology to both empower and control citizens is what we call the "Privacy Paradox." We believe it's time for governments to recognize this paradox and, like their counterparts in the private sector, begin responding to the public demand for identity management solutions that are both effective and engender trust and confidence that personal data is not being abused.
