    The legislation proposal aims at achieving cybersecurity due to increased network threats in government and in organizations. Educating the public and the use of cyber security technologies have great impacts on government agencies. Our government department comply with NIST and ISO/IEC, and the two bodies help in enhancing privacy and security in the national and international levels. It is important to identify efficient operational, technical and management security controls in a comprehensive computer security plan. Risk assessment in management control assists in identification of risks and in putting up risk assessment policies. Operational controls have their basis on restrictions to access information resources and in user permissions. Sam

    Ken, This was a very good article. Nothing that I had not heard in the recent couple years, but you can see how society is being tracked to the point that no civil liberties union will be able to do anything anymore. The byproducts of the features that everyone wants, i.e. for convenience, are what allow these agencies monitoring and mining all of this data, with our silent approval. The use of this data will only continue to rise, and we will soon see if the secure state we are building will do more good than bad.

    WASHINGTON - The C.I.A. drone strike that killed Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born propagandist for Al Qaeda's rising franchise in Yemen, was one more demonstration of what American officials describe as a cheap, safe and precise tool to eliminate enemies. It was also a sign that the decade-old American campaign against terrorism has reached a turning point.

    This article does mention balancing some weaknesses of biometrics. The one weakness that is common right now among these systems is the use of usernames and passwords to form a secondary means of accessing the system once the biometrics no longer work. With the implementation of multi-modal systems, this could be resolved. The article also discusses international based systems, which could be difficult, personal information is a source of contention between many countries. Where is the information stored, and what laws become enforceable depending on the users point of presence?

    Interesting article thank you for posting it. As Phil and the article mentioned where is this information stored. The security of this information is deeply concenring. Not that I am a conspiracy theorist but I really do not want my biometric information to be stored on some database. I remember when my daughter was young there was a push to have your child's DNA sample taken and stored in case it was ever needed in the event the child was kidnapped or lost. After thinking about it back then I just did not see how the government having her DNA sample was a good thing. Of course if she ever comitted a crime I would like to think that I would want her punished for the crime but being a parent I also know that I would do anything to protect her, so why would I give the government a readily available DNA sample for them to identify her with. In the event a sample was needed because of some terrible event happening to her one could be provided through other methods. Just my thoughts.

    I just posted up an article on fooling biometric fingerprint scanners, Facial scanners can be fooled with photos http://thehackernews.com/2011/11/android-facial-recognition-based.html The Danger is that while one can get a new password or smart card if the old is compromised, You only have one face, two eyes and 10 fingers to use for ID and can't get new ones when someone figures out how to comprimise them.

    Thanks for the posting especially since my project deals with Ambient Intelligence wherein biometrics can be an integral part of its implementation. One of the most common and frequent incidents in Service Management is authentication. Whether it is with entering secure facilities or logging into computer systems both in the office and remotely, people tend to forget their credentials. Consequently, this causes a loss in productivity as someone tries to regain their access to systems or for system administrators to provide them with temporary access. Ambient intelligence and biometrics may seem as a viable solution since the physical characteristics is intrinsic in each individual. This presentation presents me with the cybersecurity flaws and weaknesses that should be mitigated.
  • Jocelyn Gladston on 25 Mar 13
     
    Biometrics is always something I have found to be fascinating. Because like this article stated no one knows who you are on the other end of that computer so being able to authenticate that in some sort of method is a great thing

    Interesting read, the Dept. of VA breach is a good reminder about physical security. It seems that quite often we focus so much on the technical that the fundamental is overlooked. It find it interesting that they have Stuxnet on this list. It is my understanding that Stuxnet was not really a data breach but more of a process breach.
